An orthopedic surgeon (speaker) expresses strong respect for chiropractors and describes working in a North Carolina city with "wonderful" chiropractors who examined patients thoroughly, identified pain sources (e.g., a bad hip), and referred appropriately. The surgeon recommends that patients return to their chiropractor after physiotherapy because physiotherapists restore function but may reveal small abduction deformities or functional dysfunctions that can unbalance the spine — issues chiropractors can address. The tone is experiential and collaborative, promoting interprofessional coordination between surgeons, physiotherapists, and chiropractors.
