For Health Care Providers:

When should I refer a patient?

Outcomes for chiropractic treatment are best for patients with acute to subacute mechanical or myofascial pain in the cervical, thoracic or lumbosacral regions.

Diagnosis of facet syndrome, myofascial pain syndromes, whiplash, stable radiculopathy, lumbar stenosis, costotransverse capsulitis, sacroiliac joint pain, spinal strain/sprain, non-specific spinal pain, discogenic low back pain, and cervical headaches show excellent response to chiropractic treatment.

Patients with cervical or lumbar intervertebral disc herniations frequently respond favorably to chiropractic management. Treatments generally include some form of traction (e.g., flexion-distraction or long axis traction), Mackenzie (extension) protocol and other clinically relevent techniques.

While we focus mostly on non-surgical care of spinal disorders, patients experiencing repetitive strain injuries, tendonopathies, carpal tunnel syndrome, thoracic outlet syndrome, temporomandibular joint pain and other musculoskeletal disorders also can expect good responses to care.
