What kinda doctor to go see..

[Vegito]

I hurt my neck (left) and left shoulder moving some crap... I'm searching down oxford health's list of available doctors.. what kind am I suppose to go see ? I'm not sure if I should even see a chiropractor or something higher up in the medical field..

whats a specialist in this field or should I hit up my "family" doctor first ?

just asking in case my work can't find something for me by 10am... i'm on my own..

yeah my general "family" doctor doesn't open till 10.. ill need to wait and see if he even have an appointment for later... this is what i hate about the referral stuff.. ur hurt and u still need to wait, else u pay out of pocket and this stuff is expensive

BTW, a chiropractor is certainly not "higher up" int he medical field...they are not in the medical field at all. You'd be better off seeing a dermatologist for your neck pain. Start with the FP. Medicine isn't fast food drive-through. Sometimes it takes more than 5 minutes to get things done right.

It's probably just a pulled muscle. A Dr can't so anything for it but charge you a buttload of money and give you drugs you don't need.

Ice the first 24 hours, then warm compresses. Make sure you don't do anything to reinjure it.

I've pulled neck/shoulder muscles a few times while working out.

Anyone notice the context-sensitive banner ads for doctor referrals at the bottom of the page...that's just sick.
