Chiropractic care

For 2 weeks I have been going to a
Chiropractor-Dr. Ronald Spencer #916-723-8282
in Citrus Heights, CA
Dr. Ronald Spencer Chiropractic care took away
all my neck & back pain by Chiropractic adjustments.
I think Medical Doctors should refer patients in pain to Chiropractic care.

I am glad to hear about your great results! Of course, I see things like this happen all the time and I am continued to by somewhat mystified that anyone with back pain would go to an MD before seeking a chiropractic consultation.

What mystifies my even more is the lack of referrals to DCs from MDs. Consider this: If a patient comes into my chiropractic office complaining of chest pain, left arm pain, difficulty breathing, jaw pain, etc. and I don't refer them to the ER, then I am truly guilty of malpractice. This patient is having obvious signs of heart attack and should be referred for the most appropriate care.

Now, I think it is also malpractice if a person presents to a medical doctor with low back pain and he/she is not immediately referred to a chiropractor.

Someday a person will bring suit for failure to refer against an MD and then maybe all this territorial idiocy will end.
