A member asked:

I have a compress intervertebral disc between s1 & l5. i have somehow tweaked my back again doing a home workout. how can i get referred to a chiropractor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Chiro is not medical: A chiropractor is not a medical doctor. It is better to see a physiatrist (also known as a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation doctor) or see an Orthopedic Spine doctor. Always have a primary care doctor to check for general problems, and he or she can refer to the other specialists. After seeing the doctors, Physical Therapy can offer some help, depending on what the diagnosis is.
