okay a very common question we can ask us
00:03
what is the difference between
00:03
chiropractic and physiotherapy a lot of
00:06
people see in general that there might
00:09
be this attack there’s some thing
00:12
between GPS and physios and
00:14
chiropractors that you know this-this
00:17
profession is stepping on our turf and
00:18
all that type of stuff which is
00:19
completely ridiculous because we all do
00:22
completely different things and the only
00:25
reason there tends to be any issues is a
00:28
lot of times from a GP a person might
00:31
get referred for the wrong reasons right
00:34
I do get a lot of people coming in after
00:36
they’ve been a physiotherapist saying
00:38
the physiotherapy didn’t help me but
00:39
really for what was going on they should
00:41
have never been referred to the
00:43
physiotherapist cuz it wasn’t what they
00:44
specialized him so the difference
00:46
between a physiotherapist and a
00:48
chiropractor is physiotherapy
00:51
specializes in muscles so it is
00:54
rehabilitation post-surgery helping the
00:58
musculature system function better
01:01
chiropractic is nervous system that’s
01:05
the big differentiation between the two
01:07
the only difficulty can come is
01:09
understanding sometimes for what problem
01:12
you know a lot of times you really
01:14
should utilize both but also for some
01:17
specific problems one would be better
01:21
than the other in certain situations and
01:23
hopefully it’s up to a lot of the
01:25
therapists in the chiropractor’s or the
01:27
physiotherapist to understand when to
01:29
say I’ll look I’ll help you with this
01:31
you probably really should see a
01:32
chiropractor or oil I should refer you
01:34
to a physiotherapist to say look they
01:36
would start to work on the muscular and
01:38
they can help in that respect so that’s
01:40
the difference physiotherapy is muscle
01:42
rehabilitation chiropractic nervous
01:45
system and allowing the body to function
01:47
and heal better
