In this case we must look at specific interventions vs. professions.
I have been fortunate in my experiences with PT's - seeing those who continuously seek further knowledge and specialize. They have the same scope as chiros and do manips as well. The difference I've observed is that PT's use manips. as an adjunct therapy - not a primary one. I've had intramuscular stimulation, adjustments as well as mobilizations to treat some of my msk complaints.

So that kinda helps. I have been confused by monitoring good chiropractors and PTs. That's a good start. I am right that they all wind up at the same alley, IF they what to and pursue the additional knowledge path. Something like me wanting to know more after I became a trianer. That suits me.
So Core
...would you recommend the chiropractic and getting better route, or the PT and getting better route?
