Collaborative Care for Comprehensive Results
At AP Chiropractic, we believe the best patient outcomes come from a team approach. While we specialize in conservative, non-invasive treatments, we understand that some cases require collaboration with other medical professionals. That’s why we maintain strong relationships with local spine surgeons, primary care providers, orthopedic specialists, and physical therapists—ensuring you receive the most comprehensive care possible.
When Collaboration Matters
Some conditions—such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or severe structural issues—may benefit from multidisciplinary evaluation. In those cases, we:
- Refer out for advanced imaging (like MRI scans)
- Share findings with your existing care team (with your permission)
- Coordinate care plans with surgeons or physicians
- Provide post-surgical chiropractic and rehabilitative support
