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!

  • Unfortunately the only chance to fix my back is surgury and 9-12 months recovery. Being the father of a new born, that was not an option. so now I just get massages once a month to ease the pain, but I have found that with both PT and Chiro it only helps while sitting there getting treatment. about 30-60 minutes later the pain is back. A couple of questions to think about: --The 9-12 months is "recovery" or "don't lift anything"? The former would seem very general. --Can you get some help during recovery period? Once infant becomes a toddler, the lifting doesn't stop, but the child is heavier and more active. A long time to be in pain and dysfunction. Hope things work out! Regards, VB
