Chiropractic can treat many different conditions. It is very possible your Primary Care Physician is unaware of the different conditions in which Chiropractic can benefit and can persuade you to stay away.
It is a Doctor’s responsibility to inform you of all treatments available for your condition. If your Doctor do not include Chiropractic, they are not reading current research and are doing you a disservice.

Many other types of conditions can also benefit from Chiropractic treatment. Many times the treatment is bettered by co-management, and many Chiropractors are open to co-managing. The most important part is to find an MD or DO who is Chiropractic friendly. That way the Medical Doctor and Chiropractor can work together efficiently.
Dr. Chris is open to working with anybody who wants to be a part of a team, in addition to referring when necessary for further imaging, treatment, injections, etc.
