Do chiropractors and medical doctors ever work as a team to heal patients?

There are certain instances where chiropractors and medical doctors work together as a team to be able to accommodate the health care needs of the patient. For example, a patient comes in with a broken leg, they go to the orthopedist, they have the leg set. The chiropractor then takes care of the rest of the body while the leg is healing because anytime you have a leg that isn't moving or an arm that isn't moving, it puts a lot of stress and strain into the body it creates a lot of secondary pain in locations the chiropractor is more than qualified to be able to deal with. Then as the patient gets well, they come out of the cast and the chiropractor can then take over with the rest of the rehabilitation from the broken limb.
