Chiro or PT? Why choose one over the other?

Opinions about chiropractic care versus physical therapy... My current issue is a pelvic "pop" that I can feel but not hear when I walk, etc. and it does not hurt. I want to try to get it resolved because I want to start swimming on a regular basis. Thanks!

    I have used both. My first time at the chiro was last summer when I had pains in both shoulders. I was skepticle but am now a believer. He worked wonders on me and have been pain free since. I think it also helps that I know the chiro and also train with his daughter on the uss team. So he knows what I put my body thru. I have to say that PT's are good also but they work on developing the weaker muscles etc. I was told that my chest/shoulders are very developed but yet my back muscles were weaker. I thought to myself but I am a butterflier, how can that be. So, I have been doing numerous exerciser to fix that problem. Of course, I need to listen to my PT because she is my wife! I sometimes get tired of the "I told ya so" commets :-) Greg Wow! You have the best of both worlds.
