I often hear patients say: I wasnt too sure whether I needed to see you, or see a physiotherapist. I can answer that now by saying that there is absolutely nothing in a physiotherapists training that isnt covered in a chiropractors training. The main 4 differences are; 1) Chiropractors are trained to expertly manipulate the joints of the spine in order to improve nerve and joint function 2) Chiropractors are able to take, read and interpret x-rays of the spine and extremities 3) Chiropractors are primary health care professionals; which means they are able to fully diagnose and treat conditions, rather than just treat pre-diagnosed conditions (e.g. those diagnosed and referred on from a GP) 4) Chiropractors do not treat symptoms. Chiropractors improve and maintain the health of the whole spine, regardless of symptoms (in the same way your dentist looks after your dental health). A side effect of improved function is that you tend to feel better too.
