Is it safe to go to a Chiropractor?
Absolutely! Visiting the chiropractor is actually one of the safest medical decisions you can make. In fact, there are far less malpractice suits against chiropractors than there are against other types of doctors.
Are chiropractors doctors?
Yes, very much so. Chiropractors have a Doctor of Chiropractics (D.C.) degree instead of an M.D. The education and training of Chiropractors is very similar to that of M.D.s In fact Chiropractors have to take many of the same classes and even more than Medical Doctors.
Can I visit a chiropractor if I am already seeing a M.D.?
It is becoming more and more common for chiropractors and M.D.s to work in conjunction with patients. Not only can you see both at the same time, many M.D.s refer their patients to chiropractic care.

Not at all. Even though they do not prescribe medications, chiropractors agree that there definitely are times when medication and even surgery may be required. As doctors, there are concerned with their patient’s health and have the patients best interests in mind. |
