Reply to comment by LeverClever in Looking for a Chiropractor Recomendation by LeverClever

Occupational therapist here. Definitely go to a chiropractor. PTs can work on back and neck stuff but they focus more on walking and ambulating.

If an OT recommends a chiropractor, I’d find a new OT.

The point is to lose patients and have them decline your care? Are you sure you went to OT school?

Major red flag considering you’re a healthcare professional.

Chiropractors are a step above witch doctors👎🏻

Ah yes sorry for stating the facts that PTs work more with mobility and chiropractors works more with neck and back pain. Sorry you guys have not had the pleasure of working with a good chiropractor. Of course there are some out there who are not good. The same can be said for some PTs and OTs. Can a PT help OP with this? But that is not their focus.

And let’s say for shits and giggles that OP does require more intensive therapies like rehab…Just the fact that PT is being recommended when back and neck problems would most likely fall into an OT referral says everything.

OP do all your research and see what is going to benefit you the best ☺️

There’s a reason chiropractors aren’t affiliated with hospitals.

…they’re not real ✨doctors✨

Maybe in Rhode Island, but that is a false claim. There are a lot of hospitals that have chiropractors. The problem is the caseloads are usually not high and it does not make the hospitals enough money. Most Hospitals are in a business in making money. Anyone that works in one can tell you that. Also if they were witch doctors it would not be a covered expense in many insurances. Clearly we won’t have similar views and that’s okay.
