Best Answer

Chiropractors are doctors but are not medical doctors. both have extensive training in anatomy, physiology, pathology, etc. The major differences between the two lie in what is being treated and the method of treatment. Medical doctors treat visceral conditions, musculoskeletal conditions, etc. utilizing a pharmaceutical approach and referring for surgery when appropriate. Chiropractors are neuromusculoskeletal specialists who utilize a more hands on approach (manual therapies, modalities, etc.) to treating conditions like: low Back pain, sciatica, neck pain, and even maintenance care for patients who seek to maintain overall wellness.
