When dealing with pain, injury, or mobility issues, many people wonder whether they should see a physical therapist (PT) or a chiropractor. While both professionals help with pain relief and movement, their approaches differ. Understanding these differences can help you choose the right treatment for your needs.
We are often asked, what are the differences between a physical therapist and a chiropractor? Physical therapists and chiropractors are healthcare professionals who focus on the treatment and management of musculoskeletal conditions, but they have different approaches, education, and treatment philosophies. Physical therapists and chiropractors often partner with each other in the treatment of a patient.
