Q: can a chiopractor help if you have stenosis with l3-4 & l4-5 or is it better to go for physical therapy ?

: The first Doctor to see should be :Neurologist,then by Consultation with Orthopaedic Surgeon.The reason is: you need to have a precise diagnosis of your spine problem to adjust the right treatment just for you.There is no indication for any manipulation or directed exercises prior to a correct diagnosis …for an appropriate treatment.
