Medical Doctors vs. Chiropractic Doctors--Who Wins? Who Loses?

Q. Why don’t Chiropractors and medical doctors get along?

A. This is a big problem that you, the patient, are dealing with these days. There is a misconception that medical doctors don’t refer to Chiropractors and vice versa. While this is true for some, it’s not the way it should be. When this occurs, there is only one loser in this scenario, YOU!

There is a time and place for medicine and there is definitely a time and place for Chiropractic. Chiropractic is not for just neck and back pain. Unfortunately, that’s what most people believe. There is so much more to Chiropractic. If MD’s, DO’s and Chiropractors would work together, our society would be a much happier, and healthier place. 

Chiropractic operates under the fact that our nervous system controls and coordinates every cell, tissue, and function of our bodies. If one of these nerve pathways is interfered with, then wherever that nerve goes to may not function at a 100%. Chiropractors remove this interferencewith the use of the Chiropractic adjustment and help the body heal on its own. There are over 100 certified adjustment techniques and the goal is to find the one that fits you.

Chiropractic helps people become healthier along with making healthy lifestyle choices, eating well, exercise and mental stress reduction techniques. As a health-care professional, I would advise you that if your M.D., D.O., or Chiropractor are not open to working with your other health care professionals in your life, then you should find a new one. It’s not about us, it’s about you. The priority should be on whatever it takes to get you and your family healthy.
