A member asked:
If someone has a spine fracture, should they see a chiropractor for treatment?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No!: See an orthopedist first to get the low-down, and ask whether your back is stable enough for chiropractic or physical therapy. If he/she says yes, then go for it.

No -They should be : Seen by a neurosurgeon or orthopaedic spine surgeon. Once healed and cleared by the surgeon, one can go to the chiropractor for other back related issues if desired.
