A study published in the July issue of Spine reaffirmed several earlier studies concluding, “Both orthopedic surgeons’ and family physicians’ knowledge of treating lower back pain is deficient”.  When given a survey testing knowledge of simple lower back pain management orthopedists average score was 44.3 out of 100.

At our office we only recommend care based on evidence based guidelines.  Given the above study’s conclusions you may want to consult your San Francisco Chiropractor before seeking the advice of a medical physician.
