Most Chiropractors do not have a PhD (doctorate of philosophy), but most have a doctor of chiropractic degree (DC).
Doctors of Philosophy (PhD) are by definition the true "doctors", as the word doctor comes from the latin for teacher. Doctors of philosophy are usually scientists and instructors at universities.
Besides these "true" doctors, our society has used the term doctor to refer to anyone who has completed a postgraduate doctorate degree in school. Thus, there are many different types of doctors, spanning many fields. Most often we associate the term doctor with certain health care professionals who have completed a doctorate level degree. Some examples of those are: Doctors of Medicine (MD), Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DO), Doctors of Chiropractic (DC), Doctors of Dentistry (DDS), Doctors of Veterinary Medicine (DVM), Doctors of Optometry (OD), etc.
The complete answer to the question of whether or not chiropractors are entitled to the use of the title "doctor" will depend on which country the chiropractor has graduated from their chiropractic program.
In Canada and the United States, for example, Chiropractors must have a 4 year undergraduate degree before starting chiropractic school, then they must complete a 4 year, post graduate, doctorate in chiropractic (8 years total). As such, in North America, chiropractors are indeed doctors, doctors of chiropractic.
In comparison to North America, in Australia, chiropractors complete a 4 year undergraduate degree, and then a 2 year masters degree in chiropractic. As such, in Australia chiropractors are not called doctors because they do not have a post graduate doctorate degree.
To further validate the use of the term doctor, at least for chiropractors in Canada, in 2005 the province of Ontario granted the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) the right to offer a professional health care degree under the Post-secondary Education Choice and Excellence Act. This decision was based on a thorough review by the government of the curriculum taught at CMCC, and the knowledge that its graduates have upon completion of the program. This degree granting right sets the program at CMCC within the hierarchy of education in Ontario as comparable to that of other primary contact health care professions, such as medicine, dentistry, and optometry.
That will vary. If you have a PHD in physical therapy then it will be so. If you have a PHD in anything then your title will be doctor.
If you mean in a sentence, than, "The Doctor has a PhD in medication."

PhD stands for Doctor of Philosophy. This is as opposed to Doctor of Medicine, which is MD. A PhD is a degree that you can obtain by post-graduate study at a university. After you have your bachelor's degree, you can work to get a master's degree, and then go on to get a PhD or doctorate degree. Once you have it, you are entitled to be called a doctor.
PhD is an abbreviation for "Doctor of Philosophy" (Philosophiae Doctor).The reason for the name is historical. Most universities used to have only four majors: divinity, law, medicine, and philosophy. All other modern subjects (such as physics, English, math) were part of philosophy, and so most subjects still use PhD as their doctoral degree.To receive a PhD you first must receive a BA or BS degree (4 year undergraduate degree). You then apply for a Master's degree and then apply to be accepted to a PhD program. Some PhD programs combine the Master's and PhD into one.
The full form of PhD is Doctor of Philosophy. It is also written as Ph.D or DPhil.
yes the doctor and the master
