From An Upper Cervical Chiropractic Perspective

What’s the differernce between chiropractic and physical therapy?

“So the long and the short of it is that chiropractors have a more expansive diagnostic education, while physical therapists have an intervention- or therapeutic-based education. While chiropractors can provide services such as rehabilitative exercise and modality treatments, their main form of treatment remains the manipulation. Physical therapists may provide manual therapy-like techniques to their patients, but therapeutic exercise, modalities and activity modification remain the foundation of physical therapy practice.”
