Guest guest Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 If it were me, I would absolutely go to someone else. It would be a spinal specialist, and let him do an MRI to find out exactly what is going on. A normal 'xray' can only show you so much. You need to know exactly what is there before letting a chiro continue to mess with your neck.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 MRI!!!!!!!!! IF a physician today is STILL using an plain old x ray to look at tissue, muscles, etc in the body, he may as well be a dinosaur. MRI's are the diagnostic tool of today.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Jackie, It is a narrowing of the spinal wall around each disc. It is usually caused by age and arthritis.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Hi Ann, I fully agree that the mri is the best way to get correct diagnosis. However here is a big issue with the cost, especially if the patient does not have insurance.
