What is the difference between a chiropractor and a regular physician?
Think of the difference between a physician and a dentist. Both are health care practitioners but in different medical professions. Both are legally entitled to use the title “doctor.” Chiropractic is complementary to other areas of primary health care, as are an obstetrics or dermatology. It is not a replacement for medical care, but its emphasis on non-invasive and preventive measures may offer an alternative to medication and surgery in many circumstances. There is a growing trend of close cooperation between medical practitioners and chiropractors.
