Definition of a Chiropractor.

Ask the Dr.

Question: Can you give a definition of what chiropractors do and what is chiropractic?

Dr. Anthony: Chiropractic Medicine is medicine that does not use surgery or drugs.

Many patients think of a chiropractor as a back doctor or a manipulator, an adjustor--that is the most common perception. That is fairly accurate, given, how many chiropractors practice.  What might be surprising to some patients is that the training in chiropractic school is as well rounded as a primary care physician, as far as education in anatomy, diagnosis and examination procedures.

Chiropractors are educated and prepared to serve patients in a way that can be quite dynamic, and much more than just back doctors.
