I know we can …
I know we can perform manipulation, and are trained to do so, but if we called it chiropractic, we’d be fraudulent (not to mention insulting our own profession).

@bisesik physical therapist can 100% perform grade 5 mobs/manipulations

First off, physical …
First off, physical therapists do ALL the spinal manipulations that Chiroquacktors use except that chiros claim to treat 10 systems including visceral disorders, autism, deafness, etc. PTs only claim to treat 3, nerves, muscles, and bones. Basically PT encompasses chiro except that PT is evidence based. I am a PT and if anybody called me a chiropractor I would take that as somebody calling me a pedophile.

@Olsi89 wrong, PTs know spinal manipulations as well

PT has a better outlook, due to insurance reimbursement, but read the philosophies of both and I’d go with what you identify with more.
July 3rd, 2010 at 2:05 am
Absolutely. …
Absolutely. Chiropractors cannot claim or advertise they perform physical therapy or physiotherapy although they can use physical medicine and rehabilitation techniques. Physical therapy, physiotherapy, and PT are protected professional designations. Even MD’s cannot call services physical therapy if no PT is employed, despite being considered qualified to use PT techniques.
July 3rd, 2010 at 2:05 am
Actually saying …
Actually saying chiropractors do physical therapy is no different than a PT’s saying they perform chiropractic. BOTH are protected entities and neither can claim they do the other. Chiro’s can’t use the term physical therapy or physiotherapy just as we cannot claim the opposite. However, much respect to this chiropractor for appreciating the similarities and differences of the two, but you can’t say your perform physical therapy.

Please refrain from …
Please refrain from saying you do physical therapy as a chiropractor…… There is so much more to physical therapy than the modalities you use in a chiropractor office. There is acute, strokes, pediatrics, cardiopulmonary, sports medicine. Physical therapists perform may treatments that a chiropractor has no training in. Saying a chiropractor does physical therapy is like saying a physical therapist does nursing because they can check vital signs

do YOU yourself do physical therapy or do you have to hire out a PT to work in your office… i’m debating which profession to go into

Except that physical therapy isn’t full of quackery and blatant anti-scientific attitudes.

hi if you are interested in physical therapy i found this cool site online that has a LOT of information called cyberpt check it out and tell me what you think?

Sir,
I would be …
Sir,
I would be careful in the use of language here. More than twice you mentioned that Chiropractors do “physical therapy.” I am very careful not to use the word chiropractic in my practice. Physical Therapists do not do or perfrom “Chiropractic.” We treat many of the same medical conditions, however I feel our theory is quite different. I use YouTube to educate myself on Chiropractic Medicine. I would certainly like to begin a dialog on how our professions can help each other.

monkeyman, if the …
monkeyman, if the chiropractor was in it for the money, then why didnt he charge u for the visit? ur contradicting urself!! just cause u visit one office withOUT getting treated doesnt mean they r all fake! i think u need a brain adjustment!
July 3rd, 2010 at 2:05 am
Overall …
Overall Chiropractors are Physical therapists but they also know adjustment, the bad chiros are the ones who only do adjustments, overall they are both great fields

i have a guestion i hope you can help me
i have a lot of Mid back pain especially with bending or stretching my back. the mobilitie of my back is very low.
what kind of x ray is the best to make for a good diagnose?
for example i have lateral/ Ap view thoracic and lumbar x ray but you only can see wheter the vertebrae is broken or not
so is there different x rays to determine subluxations or the mobility of the vertebrae ?and if yes how is it called
flexion extension x ray is that an option?
July 3rd, 2010 at 2:05 am
I would agree …
I would agree jhicks, but lets not forget the effectiveness of such practices as Tai Chi and Qigong at preventing injuries as well as healing them. With the proper practice of such arts, healing an injury is as simple as adjusting your technique.
For physical wounds on the flesh such as Eschar, one of course cannot debride the flesh with ones hands alone… It’s rediculous that you pulled such an example out on the Martial Arts…
But the point that not everything is for everyone is correct.

How would you know …
How would you know that a majority are as you say(incompetent), when you’ve only ever been to ONE?
Did he just say it, or did he show you the spot?
And as the man in the video said, there are good chiropractors and bad one, good physicians and bad ones. Qualified practitioners of all kinds come in hues of respectability.
No offense, but your experience says nothing of the effectiveness of chiropractic therapy in general.
July 3rd, 2010 at 2:05 am
Here in KS, a …
Here in KS, a majority of our chiropractors are not only incompetent but in it for the money. The one and only time I went to a chiropractor, I was told that my x-rays showed I had an old injury in my lower back that would require more visits to correct. I’ve never had lower back problems at all so I was immediately suspicious. I also told them that I’m not coming back. This chiropractor never charged me for the visit. I thought he was a total quack.

I’m a guy that has discovered these things, and I’m planting seeds.

Thanks Dr. I’ve been to a chiropractor before with excellent results. I also used to work in a Physical Therapy unit in a major hospital before. So I KNOW that it works.
July 3rd, 2010 at 2:05 am
so what sort of …
so what sort of program would you put someone with Right, Congestive Heart Failure? or what if they suffered a phase III wound, the wound base is dry, and contains alot of eschar, how would you debride it? not to discredit tai chi, or qigong, they are good practices for what they are, and if they help people, use those techniques, but there isn’t one answer for everyone, for example, TENS, for some people it’s great, others might not get any pain relief. good vid.

We have a PA in our office who was a chiropractor (which was a shock to me)and for some reason he just didn’t feel comfortable with the science of chiropractic medicine. He never did elaborate.

Sounds good to me. Chiropractic does wrok
