Chiropractors are Real Doctors

You may think of a "real" doctor as a medical doctor. In fact, a medical doctor (GP) and a doctor of chiropractic (DC) are both qualified, although their studies will differ, and both use the title "doctor" as a courtesy title.

However, medicine and chiropractic are quite different  because each discipline looks at health and healing in different ways.

Medical Doctors Doctors of Chiropractic
  • Sees the disease
  • Kills germs
  • Studies the blood
  • Relies on drugs
  • Treats symptoms
  • Sees the person with the disease
  • Increases your resistance to germs
  • Improves nervous system integrity
  • Reduces causes of nerve interference
  • 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 whole body health issues, you want the health restoration possible that is the focus of chiropractic care.
