Spinal Doc recommendation needed - Virginia Hi all,
A very good friend of mine was in a car accident this past summer. She has been seen by a Primary Care doc, had a lot of physical therapy, and taken some oral meds for inflammation. She just had a MRI and it shows cervical bulges and possible cervical nerve impingement. But I recommended for her to see a Spine doc and I am hoping for some recommendations of great spine docs in and around Charlottesville, Va. Closer is better. Maybe there are some at UVA Medical someone knows (or Martha Jefferson Hospital), etc ...
I appreciate any help offered.
