Do I have to see my medical doctor before I see a chiropractor?

No. Doctors of Chiropractic are primary health care providers.  Patients can come to us directly for care, without being referred by any other physician. Chiropractic doctors frequently work in conjunction with other doctors and medical professionals as needed by the patient.
