Which doctor (specialist) to show to for body pains (muscles / backache / in bones)?

Question

Can any one tell which doctor / specialist to show to for body pains. Mostly these pains are in the upper back near neck region and sometimes in the muscles in the hand.

Answer 1

A few specialists could be used:
1. Chiropractor
2. Physiotherapist
3. Rheumatologist

You will need to see your normal doctor to begin with to obtain a referal before seeing any other doctor for your problem.

Answer 2

There are multiple specialties that deal with your problem.
After seeing your primary care physician the options are:
pain specialist,
physiatrist (Physical Medicine and Rehab),
neurologist,
then maybe orthopedic surgeon.
As always, diagnostics come first. You may need an MRI or CT scan of the affected area (regular X-rays do not give you usually much useful information).
A good physician will recommend appropriate ancillary services like physical therapy and others.

Answer 3

An orthopedic doctor can treat your back pain however he may just want to make money and recommend surgery. I had a painful backache. It was a kidney infection. I took a prescription for seven days. No more back ache no more pain.

Answer 4

Orthopedist Dr. first your Head Dr. or primary physician will check you if they think you need a specialist they will send you to a orthopedist Dr. they work with bones, muscles, ligaments you name it. Chiropractic Dr. are for alignments, no offense they know there stuff but you need a specialist, a physical therapist is going to need a prescription from any other Dr to work on you.
Hope this works
good luck ^i^♥♥

Answer 5

You may want to try a neurologist since you have problems around the neck area and also in your hands. These two may come from the same place, maybe a pinched nerve in the neck area. I would go there first and then perhaps an orthopedic Dr. Good luck...I hope you get some help.

Answer 8

First of all, consult a general physician and act according to his medical advice. Besides medical help, you help yourself by learning and practising yoga and meditation.

I'd say a chiropractor, but make sure they take X RAYS
before they adjust you ( what others call crack your spine
