What is the difference between an orthopedic doctor and a physical therapist?

One is a DR: Orthopaedic surgeon perforn surgeries of the musculoskeletal system including spine.A physical therapist is not a physician however is trained to do reha of the musculoskeletal system, do not do surgeries.

Only one is a doctor: An orthopaedic surgeon is a doctor, has completed 5 years of residency training, after medical school. Some orthopaedic surgeons complete fellowships in specific areas of orthopaedics which may take a year or more to complete. That's at least 9 years of training after undergrad, most of which is focused on musculoskeletal care. We right the orders for treatment and the therapist do the treatment.
