When An MRI Becomes Necessary After An Injury From A Chiropractor SE Portland

By Bob Albert Lewis


When you have an accident, it is highly recommended, and sometimes a necessity to get medical attention. After any kind of auto or on the job injury, many insurance companies require all that were involved see a chiropractor SE Portland or a family physician to check out what damages have occurred to your body. Many times, an MRI is ordered.

One of the most common complaints of pain and inflammation comes from damaged nerves. If there is pain, there is damage. To be able to treat the pain, a doctor must be able to see what is damaged and determine how to treat it. Nerve damage is often the cause of pain, numbness and tingling throughout many parts of the body therefore it is necessary to know what nerves are impaired.

Although visiting a chiropractic office is often helpful in reducing pain in a natural, invasive way that helps many people get relief, sometimes more investigations are necessary. This is especially true when it becomes evident that something in the body is inhibiting it from healing itself. Many times, an MRI will help the physician actually see what needs to be corrected in order for the body to heal.

An example of this kind of injury is a herniated disc. A chiropractic doctor needs to decide whether he should start spinal adjustments. An MRI can reveal if there's enough room around the lesion to proceed or whether it's best to wait until the herniated disc naturally shrinks.

It is not uncommon for a chiropractic doctor to seek out the services of other medical professions to help treat the patient. When damage is done to the nerves, a neurologist can help devise a plan and advise other doctors on the best way to help the patient recover.

Many insurance companies will pay for visits to the chiropractic office. They usually put a limit on the number of visits so it is best to know your options and talk to your doctor. If you have any type of accident, it is important to get the best medical care available to help you on your way to a healthy recovery.
