Most of our content is about how chiropractic care can help. This one is about knowing when it is not the right place to start.
If you have back pain with loss of bladder or bowel control, sudden numbness in your inner thighs or groin, or sudden weakness in both legs, go to the ER.
Back pain with fever, unexplained weight loss, severe night pain, or chest/mid-back pain with shortness of breath, sweating, or nausea should be evaluated by your P*P first.
At Align Chiropractic Spine and Wellness, every new patient receives a neurological and orthopedic screen before treatment. If your case needs another type of care, we will tell you and point you in the right direction.
