Such guidelines present a base for physicians like your Baton Rouge chiropractor to practice and Baton Rouge chiropractic patients to see that  they are being treated with the best evidenced care.

In view of the risk, luckily, the surgeons seek a minimum of 8 to 12 weeks of radicular arm pain in a patient in advance of a neck surgery.
