What is a Spine Doctor
Dr. Casey Bearden, DC is considered a spine doctor, also referred to as a spinal specialist. He treats all conditions of the back and neck including lower back pain. There are many other types of specialists that focus on spinal injuries and related issues. Examples include physical therapists, neurosurgeons, oncologists, radiologists, occupational therapists, pain management physicians, physiatrists, nurse practitioners, massage therapists, orthopedic surgeons, neurologists and rheumatologists. These physicians or practitioners should be selected based on the type of condition. Each practitioner has a different skill set and specializes on certain health issues. Sometimes it makes sense to utilize a combination of doctors to best address your issue. In the event a surgeon is required, Action Spine & Joint has a list of the best spinal surgeons in Tennessee. We are glad to refer you.
Definition Spinal Doctor vs Spinal Specialist
Many of our clients ask us: “What Exactly is a Spine Doctor?” The definition is quite simple. A spine doctor or spinal specialist is a health professional who focuses mainly on treating conditions of the spine. Chiropractors certainly fall within this category. Chiropractors offer a non-invasive and non-surgical natural approach to treatments. The great majority of patients are good candidates for conservative spine treatment programs. In extreme injury cases surgery may be required. We are connected with the best spinal surgeons in Nashville and refer our patients when needed. Common conditions we treat include spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disorder, and herniated discs.
Goal of Spinal Treatments
The goal at our chiropractic clinic is to restore our patients’ health by repairing the structure and function of their spine, joints, and ligaments. Chiropractic treatments are a natural, conservative care protocol that aims to improve health by restoring structure and function to the spine and other joints. Once we have completed the treatment plan, our patients should have restored range of motion to joints, be pain free, have decreased muscle tightness, and strengthened ligaments with decreased scar tissue.
