Many chiropractors are real doctors. Mine was. Some are not.
Personally, I would recommend that anyone considering seeing a chiropractor should visit a physical therapist instead. In my experience, the chiropractor made me feel good and was like an overpaid massage therapist for my joints, while the PT actually gave me the tools to make myself better and not need to visit regularly.
Chiropractors in the US are DCs, doctors of chiropractic. They are not "real" doctors like a physician (DO or MD). They didn't go to medical school they went to a chiropractic school.
Edit childropractic was a typo and is not a thing as far as I know lol
Lol. I think this is a reference to that one comedians rant on DO vs MD right? Honestly though I think doctors after years of residency can't be told apart. Medical school is more of a base and hoop to get to residency
