Why Refer Out?
With so many people suffering from spine related conditions, Chiropractic services are poised to provide front-line evaluation and management of same. Spine care presents unique challenges to the practitioner: (1) the lack of a clearly defined pathoanatomical lesion in the majority of cases, (2) the influence of psychosocial factors in the origin and perpetuation of spine related disorders, (3) the lack of training in general practitioners regarding spinal conditions. While there exist numerous guidelines for the management of spine related disorders, the dispersion and implementation of “best available evidence” is sorely lacking. As a chiropractor, Dr. Lopez spent four years of graduate studies dedicated to anatomy and differential diagnosis of spinal related disorders. With a large problem list and patients rightly concerned about surgical or invasive procedures, a conservative bio-psysco-social approach is best suited to address spinal pain before considering more costly and potentially more complicated options. Sadly, many physicians do not refer to chiropractors. That may be a necessary evil of days gone by but times are changing. Dr. Lopez works very hard to change that mindset by presenting a positive and professional image to the community at large. He has worked with a respected neurologist since 2010 and earned his confidence. He also provides ancillary testing for physiatrists, orthopedists and pain management physicians and understands how to communicate with the medical community. Let Dr. Lopez save your patient the time, money and frustration associated with the current health care model. Your patients will receive timely and honest care. He promises no salesmanship, gimmicks or lengthy care plans. As the first point of contact for spine related conditions, he can help your patients address common spinal complaints while removing one item from your problem list.
