Chiro is not medical: A chiropractor is not a medical doctor. Better to see a physiatrist (PM&R doctor; Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation), a rheumatologist, or a neurologist. Always have a primary care doctor, and he or she can refer to the other specialists. There are some medical doctors who do acupuncture, if a patient is wanting to try acupuncture. Physical Therapy can help, depending on what the diagnoses are.
