Guest guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 If a Dr does not do an all inclusive test such as the MRI and there is something very wrong then he could be held in negligence-- so why not order the test? After all your insurance pays for it so why not? That does not make sense unless your neck/back is only strained and muscle strain does not need a MRI to help diagnosis. The MRI is the best diagnostic tool a physician can utilize and it could keep them out of a law suit --- so I am confused.

And I have heard more nightmare stories about them and the harm they can do with the manipulations --- and those X rays do not show much. Chiros can not give a prescription for a MRI at all-- and that is the best diagnostic test one can have for any issue on the back and neck. Or for that matter any place on the body. If you are having anything wrong with the cervical region as well as lumbar, get an MRI. Perhaps I am being naive and ignorant but I went to a chiro once and he was totally inappropriate in his conduct and his practice.

I have 3 bulging discs, spondylosis in each level, facet disease in several levels and osteoarthritis in several levels of my cervical spine. I've been getting these monster migraines and have muscle knots in my neck. I went to a chiro last Friday and we talked about how she does things way more low key and gentle with people that have fibro and disc problems. It went ok while I was there but I ended up with a bad headache that night and Sat. am I woke up with a migraine and my upper back and neck hurt sooo bad, felt like someone just beat me with a baseball bat over and over, and I got 2 more migraines Sat & Sun. I am scared to death to go back to see her today!!! COuld she have hurt the discs more? Or more llkely hurt the muscles in my neck causing all the extra pain & migraines?? Has anyone had good results from a chiro with neck problems? Thanks and I hope everyone has a great day!!
