Chiropractic is, like any field of medicine, a specialty. Chiropractors focus on the spine like dentists focus on your teeth and Internists focus on internal organs. The Internist has an M.D. after his name; the Dentist has a D.D.S.; and Chiropractors have a D.C. after theirs. In the end, they are each trained medical professionals skilled in their field and each are considered by law and practice to be doctors.
