Second opinion: If in doubt about what was discussed, or not clear, yes it would be good idea.

Absolutely yes: Chiropractors offer a deep massage but not actual diagnosis or treatment. It is based on an ancient and outmoded theory of disease long since proven incorrect.They frequently use X-rays to justify these theories. If something is actually there as a problem, your orthopedic MD will detect this and offer actual diagnosis and treatment.

What???: You need a first opinion? Chiros should never read X-rays! Why would you think they could. ? heck, Most MD s can't read X-rays. . If concerned, Ortho or a radiologist should read your X-rays. They spend years learning to read them. Are you having symptoms. ? Or is the chiro just coming up with a reason to recommend a year of monthly 'treatments' Be careful and watch your wallet
