Jessica chats with Katelyn, an experienced chiropractor and long time friend. Jessica learns oh so much about chiro's role in the healthcare system.
Some of said learning in bullet points:
-You don’t need a referral from doctor.
-Chiropractors are privatized, primary care providers.
-Low back pain: bread and butter.
-Nerve, muscle, joint = see a chiropractor.
-Different Chiro’s might practice slightly differently.
-It’s important to speak up if you don’t agree with or feel comfortable with the treatment plan.
-If you see a chiro first and they determine it’s not MSK related, it is really helpful clinical information for family practitioners.
Chiropractors can be an important piece to the treatment puzzle for patients and, therefore, support the healt chare system. Win-win!
