Your Toronto chiropractic spinal pain doctor at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre
implements the test(s) that are necessary to “see’’
the spine best to create the best treatment plan

KNOWING WHAT MAY UNDERLIE PAIN: What Chiropractors Look For
Chiropractors in addition to general
practitioners and other healthcare providers must be cognizant of all sorts of underlying causes of
back pain from fractures, infections, tumors, radiculopathy, axial
spondylarthritis, and extravertebral causes. These may call for
imaging, lab tests, etc., to assist in the diagnosis. 20%
of back pain episodes may have these types of
underlying issues that really should be found
in a timely manner. (1) Occasionally, knee osteoarthritis and
lumbar spondylosis appear together in the same patient.
Having one or the other issue significantly increased
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 seen on imaging. (3) Your
Toronto chiropractor is well-versed
in looking for all of these and more issues.
WHAT ELSE DOES YOUR CHIROPRACTOR LOOK FOR
Decreased balance capability could potentially
impact recovery from low back pain. (4) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre looks
for depressive symptoms as they tend to contribute to
more primary care visits in acute low back pain patients, greater
pain intensity, more disability, and less recovery in acute
and chronic back pain patients. (5) You are a whole person! [[companyame]] sees
you that way. So what else do we look for? Anything and everything
that may slow down your recovery.
WHAT DOES YOUR CHIROPRACTOR DO FOR SPINE-RELATED PAIN
Whether you have low back pain or neck pain or low back or neck related leg or arm pain, your

just for a diagnosis and referral to the proper healthcare
colleague or for the formation of an in-house treatment
