A member asked:
If a chiropractor will see me., does he treat nerve damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Always will see you: Chiropractors cannot treat nerve damage. They will insist they can. They can relieve the discomfort a little with deep massage but cannot diagnose or cure nerve damage. See your regular doctor first and perhaps an orthopedic specialist or neurologist for nerve damage.
