Be Fit Malaysians: Should I See A Chiropractor or an Orthopaedic Surgeon?

If you’re someone who’s generally active and involved in sports, who would you see if you have back or neck issues: a chiropractor or an orthopaedic surgeon? Consultant orthopaedic surgeon Dr Harjeet Singh is back for his monthly series and today he’s joined by Dr Hayden Pooke, an internationally certified sports chiropractor to discuss whether the roles of a sports chiropractor and an orthopaedic surgeon are complementary or opposing, and to shed more light on the role of a chiropractor in preventing and managing sports injuries.
