The difference in Chiropractic and Physical therapy is the specificity of the adjustment that chiropractors perform. Physical therapists can help with the mobility and stability of joints by first and foremost addressing the musculature around bones and joints. Chiropractors deliver very specific adjustments to reinstate the proper alignment of specific bones and joints in specific directions. Chiropractor's doctorates are based in this bony alignment with a handful of classes on the therapies of the muscles. On the other hand, physical therapists' degrees are based on the soft tissue with maybe 1 or 2 classes on the bony manipulation. Manipulation is non-specific, the chiropractic adjustment is specific. Best of luck!
