The spine can be affected by several diseases, mainly degenerative, such as, cervical disc herniation, lumbar disc herniation, cervicoarthrosis, scoliosis, lumbar spinal stenosis, degenerative lumbar disc disease, among others.
We must, however, highlight that in order to provide an accurate diagnosis, the chiropractor must carry out a study of the spine and determine the pathologies.
In many cases, an examination of the spine will require the performance of more advanced medical methods such as the Surface Electromyography and Thermoscan.
