What is the difference between a chiropractor and a massage therapist?
A chiropractor is a physician trained in adjusting the frame of the body, the skeletons and bones. Although they are often trained in muscle manipulation, therapy and treatment are approached from bone adjustment. A massage therapist focuses on manipulating the muscles of the body in order to improve body function. In order to ensure the optimum healing, chiropractors and massage therapists often work together.
