Do you really need that MRI of your back?

I once heard a chiropractor say that he could get an MRI of your phone that would show every part inside, but would not tell him if the phone was ringing or not. MRI' and CT's have very high false positive rates showing many abnormalities that have nothing to do with a patient's pain. Relying on these so heavily as has become the norm in medical practice many times leads the clinician astray from the actual cause of the problem and leads to unnecessary/incorrect and dangerous treatments and increases disability.
I have had many patients tell me they were not even examined or touched by the doctor. Now that is very sad care.
Has anyone ever gone to a doc for a back or joint problem and not been examined?

Do you really need that MRI of your back?

other of many studies showing chiropractic care is less expensive for back disorders. This new study was on 72,000 Medicare patients with chronic back disorders. It looked at six years of treatment and patients that had multiple comorbidities (other medical disorders). Chiropractic patients also had the shortest duration of their pain episodes.
Should Medicare provide better coverage for chiropractic care?

Tech Neck

This has also been called text neck.
The World Health Organization has recently classified neck disorders as the 4th leading cause of disability in the world and they are the 2nd most common condition I treat in my clinic. Most patients I treat have not had a single traumatic incident, but have conditions due to what is called repetitive trauma such as tech neck.

Popular painkiller doesn't help low back pain, arthritis, study finds

The most popular pain drug in the US, acetaminophen (Tylenol) does not help with back disorders. This was the finding of a recent study in the British Medical Journal which looked at 13 previous randomized studies on this drug for treating back, knee, and hip disorders. Acetaminophen accounts for 100,000 hospital visits a year and is the number one cause of acute liver failure.
So does it make scientific sense that a medical provider would prescribe acetaminophen instead of referring for chiropractic care?
