KNOWING WHAT MAY UNDERLIE PAIN: What Chiropractors Look For
Chiropractors in addition to general
practitioners and other healthcare providers must be cognizant of all types of underlying triggers of
back pain from fractures, infections, tumors, radiculopathy, axial
spondylarthritis, and extravertebral causes. These may require
imaging, lab tests, etc., to help identify. 20%
of back pain bouts may have these types of
underlying conditions that need to found
in a timely manner. (1) Sometimes, knee osteoarthritis and
lumbar spondylosis come together in a patient.
Having one or the other issue significantly raised
the odds of having the other. (2) Though they’re not
likely in your vocabulary, they are in your chiropractor’s! Schmorl’s nodes. Seen
on imaging, these are noted in 33% of low back pain patients and in just
11.5% of subjects without symptoms. Body weight
seems to influence the number of these viewed on imaging. (3) Your
Auburn chiropractor is familiar with with and more issues.
