There are many specialized areas within the healthcare field. Examples include cardiology, endocrinology, gynecology and gastroenterology. The specialties were developed out of demand due to complexity of certain systems of the body. The spinal column and related areas of the nervous system represents one of the most complicated systems of the body, thus the emergence of the spinecare specialties. A spine physician is a physician who has specialized training and experience in the care of the spine. The specialized training includes the study of spine anatomy, spine biomechanics, biochemistry, genetics, neurophysiology, neurology and pharmacology.
Training also includes the study of general medicine and those conditions which could involve or afflict the spine. Some spine physicians, such as neurosurgeons, will go on to train in spine surgery while others such as chiropractic physicians will specialize in a physical medicine approach which encompasses clinical biomechanics, chiropractic adjustment and spinal rehabilitation. Spine physicians are highly trained in the application of advanced diagnostic technology such as: x-ray imaging, posture analysis, and neuro-selective current preception threshold examinations.
