Expert chiropractors should know of alternative treatments.
notice I said expert...= experienced , advanced and not pushy

If you try chiropractic "interview" many & have evaluation visit first, get/take a copy of your films to show them. If nothing else just to get some other kinds of opinions...

Have you looked at your films yourself with a dr to show you the areas they're talking about?

[Differences
There are a few areas where there still is a difference. Only neurosurgeons are trained during their six or seven year residency to perform procedures inside the lining of the spinal canal called the dura. Thus, spinal cord tumors, arachnoid cysts, syringomyelia, Chiari malformation, spinal cord arteriovenous malformation, diplomyelia or diastematomyelia, tethered spinal cord, spina bifida or myelomeningocele, lipomyelomeningocele, tumors at the junction of the base of the skull and upper cervical spine, nerve root tumors, and a few other diagnoses still fall under the domain of the neurosurgeon. Similarly, both pediatric and adult scoliosis and other spinal deformities are still primarily treated surgically by orthopedic spine specialists. ]
