We can't always treat everything. Back pain is complicated. A person won't always find relief from chiropractic. Plattsburgh Doctor of Osteopathy Richard F. Lutinski, board certified in family practice for 21 years, received crossover training in both the medical field and osteopathy, the science of manual or manipulative medicine, which is similar to chiropractic training. Because he chose to enter family practice, he does not practice osteopathy, but does note the value of manipulative medicine.
Manipulative medicine can be very helpful in circumstances of minor derangement of the spine.
It restores normal physiology to the areas to correct the situation. Some chiropractors have very radical thinking, in my opinion. They think everything and anything can be cured by chiropractic treatment. I don't really agree with that. Over the years, many physicians have been turned off to chiropractors who believe they can treat any problems and hold the radical stances that immunizations aren't necessary.
