Referrals

As a Chiropractic Orthopedist, Dr. Caraotta is able to order diagnostic testing at all three hospitals in Rockford and throughout the state of Illinois.  He has also, on occasion, ordered diagnostic testing for out of state patients.  Injuries of the spine often involve slipped discs or disc herniations.  This is especially so in situations where high-speed trauma or whiplash has occurred.

Herniations and the severity of certain conditions can go undetected when doctors are slow to perform viable diagnostic testing such as MRI's, CT Scans and ENG's.  Our policy is to order testing promptly when indicated. Dr. Caraotta also works with a variety of health specialists in the Rockford Community, including general practitioners, neurologists, orthopedic, and neuro surgeons; and makes appropriate referrals when necessary.
