Dr. Mark Lindsay’s association with embattled Dr. Anthony Galea could be hurting Alex Rodriguez.

When Rodriguez came back from right hip surgery last year, he constantly credited Lindsay, a Toronto chiropractor, for his steady progress.

Because Lindsay and Galea, who is facing four charges in America relating to unapproved substances used in healing therapy and an admitted HGH user, have a working relationship at Affinity Health in Toronto, the chiropractor hasn’t been able to work on Rodriguez.

In March, Galea admitted to treating Rodriguez last year and prescribing anti-inflammatory medication. He has denied giving HGH to athletes.

“He hasn’t been working with Lindsay,” GM Brian Cashman said of Rodriguez, who has been idled by tendinitis in the right hip flexor and has missed the past three games after leaving Thursday night’s against the Orioles after an inning.

Asked if the Yankees or MLB told Rodriguez to stop seeing Lindsay, Cashman declined to elaborate. In a statement issued during spring training, the Yankees said they only approved Dr. Marc Philippon to work with Rodriguez in his recovery from surgery.

“I am not going to comment. He hasn’t been working with Lindsay,” Cashman said of Rodriguez.

Philippon, who performed the hip surgery and oversaw the rehab process that Lindsay was a big part of, didn’t immediately return calls from The Post. Nor did Rodriguez return messages.

As for Rodriguez returning to the lineup against Phillies ace Roy Halladay, Cashman wasn’t sure.

“I can’t say, it’s possible,” Cashman said of the cleanup hitter who received treatment Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Yankee Stadium. “It’s a trifecta. He may not (play), he may DH, or he may play third base. I can’t give an answer.”
