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 done both for different reasons. I started going to a chiro about 6 weeks ago for headaches. While there I told him about my shoulder hurting again (previous tendonitis which I did PT for) after 900 yds of fly at practice! He did some PT type things on it and it's getting better already. I was also looking at re-do of surgery I had on emy wrist. He did some things and now the wrist is 99% better. My chiro is a sports medicine guy as well as being chiro trained (used to be DC United's Chiro). In his office he has PT equipment. Maybe you can find one that is both sports med and chiro that will help more. PS Headaches which were once daily are now down to once every 5 days or so :applaud: I'm leaning toward a sports oriented chiro - with experience in PT - sounds like a winning combination. Now I just have to find one within a reasonable distance...we live in the middle of "nothing close" - at least there's an indoor pool:)
