spine specialist
Vertebral column expert
A spine specialist is a medical professional who focuses on disorders of the spine—herniated discs, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, and similar conditions.
The term covers various credentials: orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, physiatrists, and chiropractors may all call themselves spine specialists.
My doctor referred me to a spine specialist for the chronic back pain.
