A member asked:

I have been going to a chiropractor and he thinks that i have something going on with my nerves. he has been doing adjustments and acupuncture which sometimes gives a little relief. he thinks that i need a neurologist?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Chiro is not medical: A chiropractor is not a medical doctor. Better to see a physiatrist (PM&R doctor; Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation), a rheumatologist, or a neurologist. Always have a primary care doctor, and he or she can refer to the other specialists. There are some medical doctors who do acupuncture, if a patient is wanting to try acupuncture. Physical Therapy can help, depending on what the diagnoses are.
