Yeah it's absolutely crazy that a chiropractor was the first person to think of X-raying chronic back pain.

Shit, I have back pain a lot less severe than this fella and my primary care straight up referred me to an MRI at my first appointment, which wasn't even primarily about my back. Doctors should have to maintain an empathy license.

It's usually the insurance company, not the doctor. My wife had to do a round of PT for her badly torn meniscus before they'd approve an MRI

Right?

Even if you're worried about drug seeking behavior, that's what the X-ray is for, confirmation.

I was actually x-rayed at the hospital after the initial accident, but they did so while I was lying down. The chiropractor x-rayed me while I was standing.

Hospital even told me that they don't catch much of the muscular-skeletal issues that may crop up in patients.
