A member asked:
Is physical therapy a better option ?than chiropractic care?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most times: Physical therapy is more rooted in science than most chiropractic care. Certainly there is very little evidence to support manipulation and endless visits for adjustments. Ultimately, however it is important to find someone with experience and both pt and chiro are dependent on the skill of the individual.
