A medical doctor (MD) and a chiropractor (DC) while different, have both received a degree from a government accredited medical school or chiropractic college and are licensed to practice.
Medical doctors see the disease, studies the blood, relies on drugs, and treats symptoms.
Chiropractors see the person with the disease, improve nervous system integrity, reduce causes of nerve interference, and promotes proper bodily function.
Clearly, these are two very different philosophies. Yet, each has its place. If you have broken bones or you’re bleeding by the side of the road, you want the heroic lifesaving measures of emergency medical treatment. But if you have chronic aches and pains or an interest in wellness, you may want the health restoration possible that is the focus of chiropractic care.
