Should you see a chiropractor or an orthopedic doctor?
It’s common to see a chiropractor for back pain, but if you’ve suffered a serious back or neck injury at work, you may want to see an orthopedic doctor for treatment.
We are not trying to rip on chiropractors or hand out medical advice. When we see trends in work injury claims, we want to pass them along. And in our experience, Chiropractors simply have less credibility with insurance companies, not to mention judges. Generally speaking, we believe your claim will be more successful if you are being treated by an orthopedic doctor.
