Most Chiropractors are crooks. Here is the truth about what they do. A chiropractor can do spinal manipulations to relieve stress on spinal nerves caused by things like muscle tension or a slight misalignment of the discs. The manipulation is not a permanent change of anything though, and no – they can’t permanently change the natural shape or curvature of a spine. An orthopedist can evaluate the situation and determine if a scoliosis is actually present, and if a brace would be of help. A brace has to be individually fitted though- it’s not a one size fits all proposition. A chiropractor can be helpful in musculo-skeletal aches and pains, through manipulation and massage- but aside from that it’s all smoke and mirrors. If you have back pain from the misalignment, they can help relieve that. But nothing they do is going to be a permanent fix. Spines don’t work that way. To change a spine takes surgery and braces. Most chiropractors are quacks and want to take a full body X-ray then proceed and having you going to them for a long time. In my opinion they are just as good a back rub. So if you want to become a back rub specialist that gets paid decent money by deceiving people this job is for you.

Go into physical therapy or nursing to start with. Dont bother with Chiropractic “medicine”, chiropractors want to be physical therapists so bad they can taste it. Chiropractors are in the business of staying in business. Thats why, regardless of your problem, a chiropractor tells they that you’ll be in a wheel chair in 10 years if you don’t keep coming to see him. Physical Therapists and Physical Therapist Assistants try to work themselves out of a job, though it will never happen.

My sister is a chiropractor and making no money. Now she works as a college professor teaching Biology at a community college. There is such a glut of chiropractors right now. She is in NJ. She has been a chiropractor for over 15 years. I would try physical therapy instead. My daughter has some developmental delays and she had a physical therapist since she was 9 months old (she did not walk until after she was 2 years old). I think that might be a more rewarding career. Personally, my husband and I are chemists in the pharmaceutical industry, and after 13 years he makes over $85,000 (I am a stay at home mom now, I made $60,000 with 8 years experience). We both love(d) our jobs.

They are rewarding jobs but very competitive and programs are hard to get into. You could always look into occupational therapy

Yeah, Chiropractic treatment is the most powerful natural curing method. I also like this natural method because it, the most viable treatment method than any other treatment method.

in my opinion, chiropractor and physical therapist are the same thing. Although chiropractic treament seems to be somehow effective than physical therapy, the starting salary for chiropractor is not as competitive as physical therapy. So, you need to be a very good chiropractor who has deep knowledge and passion about the profession. One thing you need to know is that the acupunture works the best for all conditions after all. Have you notice that many chiropractic colleges offer combined degree of DC and acupunture? Also, physical therapist depends heavily on insurace. Moreover, the United States is the only country offers DPT program, and many people in other countries don’t recognize physical therapy as a real doctor. All i am saying is that the world is changing, and someone with most skill and knowledge in the either profession will be successful as long as they really know their knowledges.

Please don’t confuse chiropractors with physical therapists. Physical therapy is result based and scientific, whereas chiropractic treatments are not scientifically proven and often times regarded as flat out quackery. Go to http://www.quackwatch.com and read the truth regarding chiropractors. Furthermore never trust your health to any homeopathic practitioner. I learned a costly and life threatning lesson as a result! Despite what some say regarding the dangers of western medicine, I think the errors that are found in western medicine is tiny compared to the ghastly mistakes the quack naturpathic nuts are doing to naive people. So, always see a REAL doctor and take the meds he or she prescribes you. Prescription meds work, and you’ll be happy in the long run that you didn’t mess around with “alternative medicine.” IT DOESN”T WORK!!!!!!

Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulation and other alternative treatments, the theory being that proper alignment of the body’s musculoskeletal structure, particularly the spine, will enable the body to heal itself without surgery or medication. Manipulation is used to restore mobility to joints restricted by tissue injury caused by a traumatic event, such as falling, or repetitive stress, such as sitting without proper back support.:-,..
