As a general rule, Chiropractors discourage surgery as a primary treatment option. However, there are some cases that will require surgical interventions. There are also cases where a patient decides for themselves that surgery is what they want. In addition, Chiropractors often play a part in post-surgical rehab and recovery for the patients. For these reasons, we think it is important for you to at least have a general idea of what the popular surgeries include. There is nothing like seeing the real thing, so you may want to ask the surgeon if you can come watch a case that you are co-treating. We have also found an interesting tool on the web to help you get an idea of what some surgeries entail. You can find it at www.orlive.com
