Answers:
You could see an Osteopath or a Physiotherapist instead of a Chiropractor if you wanted!.
Within the medical field there are also different types of "back doctor"!. For example an orthopaedic consultant or a neurosurgeon or a rheumatologist!. They all deal with issues to do with the spine but from different angles!.
Chiropractors can be great, depending on your condition - ie is it a disc issue!? A muscular issue!? A postural issue!? Best thing to do is get a good disgnosis via the GP/Doctor (via MRI/X-ray), decide what exactly the problem is, THEN do some research and decide which practitioner's style is going to be best for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can see an orthopedic doctor or a general practitioner!. Orthopedics is the study of bones, and may have some other ideas!.
A general practitioner basically does everything and doesn't specialize in anything!. That's what I'd go to, he might be able to give you a better idea of what's going on and point you to who you need to see!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Why are you scared of chiropractors!? It is the back doctors that you should be cautious with!. Back surgery is very risky!. Things can go from bad to much worse very quickly with surgery!. With chiropractors, sometimes it may take longer for the treatments to have a profound effect, but it is a lot less risky!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
