Information
A chiropractic orthopedist is a chiropractic
physician who has completed post graduate
training leading towards board certification
as a chiropractic orthopedic specialist.
Upon completion of the 3-4 year postgraduate
program the board eligible chiropractic
orthopedist must pass both written and
clinical examinations demonstrating expertise
consistent with an orthopedic specialist.
The chiropractic orthopedist treats musculoskeletal
injuries in a non-surgical manner and
provides non-surgical treatment options;
such as manual medicine, massage, ultrasound,
electrical muscle therapy, diathermy,
exercise programs and more, for relief
of joint, nerve and muscle pain in necks,
backs, knees, elbows, wrists and other
joints. Referral for medical or surgical
procedures are made when indicated. Dr.
Shaw and his associates offer a unique
blend of education and caring which have
provided relief of pain and suffering
for thousands.
"Chiropractic orthopedics shall
be considered a branch of orthopedics,
the purposes of which are: by non-surgical
techniques, to prevent and correct deformities
and to preserve and to improve the functions
of bones, muscles, joints and their nerve
supply, when such function are threatened
or impaired by defects, lesions or disease"
