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!

    Ha! That very injury (from YEARS of *** and fly) was what got me into Chiropractic, and ultimately convinced me to BE one. Not funny ha ha- just a coincidence. Do you know what grade (how much anterior/forward motion) and at what level? Core muscle stability is VERY important in preventing further motion. Simple xrays can detect whether or not your vertebra are stable during motion - did you have any where you bent all the wy forward/backward? If they are suggesting surgery, I would assume you must be grade 3+. Anyway, hopefully someone, or YOU have put you on a routine of core stabilizing, I found yoga very helpful for me Katy
