  • What is the difference between a physical therapist and a chiropractor?

    Chiropractors are doctors and Phys Therapists are not, unless they get their doctorates in PT. PT focuses on rehab of injuries and soft tissue and joint malfunction. Chiropractors detect and correct and correct misaligned vertebrae and joints of the body with manipulation of those joints/bones, to take away nerve impingement and imbalance overall; along with everything a PT does. Some Chiropractors ONLY adjust. Others like myself, are called MIXERS, and we do the PT along with Chiropractic. I have met many amazing PT's, as well as Chiro's, so each does fit in well with any injury. Hope I helped. Got your back! Dr. Todd Gewant READ MORE
