The sworn enemy of physical therapy is chiropractors. The do not fix you as a whole organic kinetic structure. They manually manipulate your skeleton with out processing the musculature too. Its like adjusting the girders on a building without then adjusting the rest of the external components. The girders would be pulled out of place again eventually! And sadly you have to pay a chiropractor to maintain a pain free stability, when physical therapists adjust bones, strengthen and stretch muscles properly, use pain ridding modalities, and give you therapeutic exercise to fix what ails ya. And everything they do for you they teach you to do at home. Both holistic; PTs not a rip off. O:-).
