Which Doctor Should I Visit For Degenerative Discs?
I have neck pain that is causing lightheadness & dizziness too. I am currently seeing my general practitioner who has coordinated my care.The first time, I saw my Doctor for neck pain was December, 2014. Two weeks ago, he ordered cervical x-rays. The x-ray reported degenerative discs. What type doctor Should I be referred to at this point?
Hi, It is advisable to consult Ortopedic surgeon or spine specialist for exact diagnosis, vertebrae involved, nerve involvement. After full examine he will give plan of treatment like physiotherapy, short way diathermy or medicine. Ok and take care.
