What Do Orthopedic Surgeons Think Of Chiropractors?
Most modern orthopedic surgeons acknowledge that chiropractic care can be very effective for managing spinal and joint issues without surgery. Many refer patients for chiropractic adjustments or decompression before recommending invasive procedures. While orthopedists focus on structural repair, chiropractors focus on restoring motion and alignment, often preventing the need for surgery altogether. When both fields work together, patients get the most complete and lasting recovery possible.
