Medical Spine Specialist

[OldHag]

Spine Specialist очень емкое понятие:
There are many types of health practitioners that care for patients with spinal conditions, and each has a slightly different role. Selection of the most appropriate type of health professional—or team of health professionals—largely depends on the patient’s symptoms and the length of time the symptoms have been present.
The different types of health professionals who treat back pain tend to have varied training and interests. While it is common to start off with a primary care provider (a medical doctor, chiropractor, or doctor of osteopathy), if the patient’s back pain is resistant to initial treatment then the services of a spine specialist may be necessary.

There are three broad groups of health providers who treat back pain:

Primary care providers are often the first port of call for patients when back pain strikes, and generally include:
Primary care physicians (Family practice doctors, Internists, Obstetricians, Gynecologists, Pediatricians)
Chiropractors
Doctors of Osteopathy

Spine specialists have a more specific area of expertise in certain diagnoses and/or treatments for back pain and spinal conditions, and generally include:
Surgeons
Physiatrists
Anesthesiologists
Neurologists
Rheumatologists (и это еще не все).

Spine doctor попадается чаще (Гугл).

Из любопытсва посмотрела vertebrologist. Попадается только на русских, переведенных на англ. сайтах, наряду с такими шедеврами переводческой мысли как acupunkturist, vertebrologist and chiropractist, massager, therapeutist.

Chiropractors и Doctors of Osteopathy, если я не ошибаюсь, на слово Medical права не имеют?
и есть еще один шедевр - mammologist

[OldHag]

Chiropractors must be licensed, requiring 2 to 4 years of undergraduate education, the completion of a 4-year chiropractic college course, and passing scores on national and State examinations. Не дохтур.

Osteopathic Physicians, also known as Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine or Doctors of Osteopathy (D.O.), diagnose and treat all illnesses and injuries and many specialize in treating back pain. There are currently 19 medical schools of osteopathy recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
State medical board examinations exist in all 50 state and must be passed for a license to practice osteopathic medicine and prescribe medication.
Specialty boards provide standards and licensing for performing surgery.

Practice takes place in fully accredited and licensed hospitals, medical centers, clinics and private practice settings. As with Doctors of Medicine (M.D.s), D.O.s educated in the United States are fully licensed physicians and surgeons who practice the full scope of medicine. In other parts of the world, most D.O.s graduating outside the U.S. are not medically trained practitioners. Дохтур, но не везде, а тока В США.

mammologist - заценила:)

после выяснения, кто такие вертебрологи, пришла к выводу, что это Neurologists Specialized in Spinal Disorders

У меня знакомая тетенька, кандидат наук, на визитках пишет: ортопед-вертебролог. Получается, что Orthopaedist specialized in spinal disorders.
