Chiropractic Vs. Physical Therapy

I find that many people have confusion about the diference between chiropractors and P.T..The biggest difference is how we approach a problem.Generally chiropractors,who are physicians, take x-rays and does a thorough exam to find the cause of the problem and P.T.'s use a prescription from a M.D. who may or may not have done the above and then prescribe a treatment plan that the P.T. follows.
Chiropractic heals from the inside out.Meaning we care about the structure and stability of the joint.If in the spine, we want to have correct placement of vertebrae so the nervous system can emerge from the spine and correctly communicate with the entire body.At Seaman Chiropractic, we also consider strenthening the muscles when the inner structure is more stable and pain is decreased.
P.T.'s move the joints but don't know how to adjust to put structure into the correct position.They work on stabilizing the muscles which helps decrease some types of pain but is not at the cause of the problem.So paeple can get a decrease in pain but not a correction of the problem.
We do the best at combining correcting the cause of the problem and then stabilizing the musculature of your core or all the muscles surrounding any joint you are having problems with.
