So moving on.
I should have clarified this, when going to a Chiropractor, if they want x rays, then this is a good plan. In some states, Chiropractors are NOT qualified to read X rays.

Therefore, if you do need them, at least for us, we go to a regular MD because when an MD orders x rays, he USUALLY goes through a Clinic or a Hospital and then a qualified MD in Radiology does the evaluation and furnishes the results to the MD. It has been my experience in other states that Chiropractors do not get their X ray work evaluated by a RADIOLOGIST who is trained and certified to do the job right.
So after that evaluation by an MD and I also tell HIM I am going to an MD and he will usually give some good insight, check it out and good luck. bbbbbb

And in turn, I'm sorry I worded my chiropractor comments rather harshly. There are some very good chiropractors out there, and they help people in ways a MD can't I have often referred patients TO a chiropractor for certain problems. But my best advice is to get a diagnosis from a MD before starting chiropractic therapy. They are good at treating back ailments that are musculoskeletal in nature, but they are NOT diagnosticians.
