An orthopedic doctor is a board certified M. D. who specializes in problems - from head to toe - of the musculoskeletal system. This includes, of course, the spine. An orthopedist might address conditions such as ruptured discs, scoliosis or other types of neck or low back pain.
Most times, you would be referred to this specialist by your family doctor or specialist. The rheumatologist is another choice as a treating physician. He or she is a specialist in joint disorders that include the spine. They first do a residency in internal medicine and then do a fellowship in rheumatology.
