Can a chiropractor prescribe pain medication?

Yes. There are different classes of pain medications. Those that are addictive, such as narcotics, are regulated by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and require a specific license in order to be prescribed. Anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen and Naproxen do not require a DEA prescribing license. If a doctor is licensed to practice medicine, they are able to prescribe anti-inflammatories and other, non-addictive pain medications. Most Physicians and Nurse Practitioners have a DEA license, so they are able to prescribe most types of regulated narcotics. Some narcotics are strong enough that their use is usually monitored by a Pain Specialist, which may require a referral from your doctor.

Is a DO degree a chiropractor?

A DO is a Doctor of Osteopathic medicine. A chiropractor is a Doctor of Chiropractic. In the beginning (early 1900's) both Chiropractors and Osteopaths treated the body through spinal manipulation. Now Osteopaths have joined the American Medical Association and currently prescribe drugs and perform surgery. While they are trained in spinal alignment and manipulation it can be difficult to find an Osteopath that performs this procedure. Chiropractors are an independent group and remain commited to treating the body without drugs or surgery through spinal manipulation. Jennie Yates, Chiropractor CoreHealth of Clearwater
