I have herniated disc from l5-s1, the pain subsided for couple of months and now it’s back. I want to see a better doc that treats this area. Who should I go see?
I too have herniated discs(cervical & lumbar) & have had back surgery at L5-S1.
A spine specialist would be my first choice, followed by either an neurosurgeon or orthopedic surgeon that does back surgery(not all orthos do spine surgery). Usually, the spine specialist is a neuro or ortho that does nothing but spine surgeries.
As a former surgical technician, I can tell you the only difference between the 2 physicians I mentioned, are their technique during surgery.
I would never, never, never, ever see a Chiropractor when you know for a FACT that you have a herniated disc. Manipulation is the LAST thing you want done. Manipulation with a herniated disc could cause the herniation to become larger or even worse, break off and cause permenant nerve damage.
I hope this info helps, good luck.
