No they are not MDs or Physicians, but they go to school longer than MDs and also know how to read an x-ray with much more detail and education then a MD can! They can catch a lot of things that MDs and Physicians have failed to see. I would suggest Dr. Smallwood from Alexander Chiropractic!
You're somewhat right, but a lot more wrong.
Radiologists are MD's, and Chiropractors are not as trained, nor as capable..
Neurologists are MD's and refer to Radiologists to read X-rays correctly, can prescribe MRIs and CAT scans. In the end a Neurologist, if they do their job, will not see you again. You should never have a reason to continue to see a surgeon, neurologist, or orthopedist once week or every other week years on end.
So over all, they may say they are better trained in SOME ares than general practioners, but when you compare apples to apples there really is NO comparison.
But it's your body. You can chose to feel good a day or two, and go back week after week for adjustments, or you can go to a real doctor and get cured, and hopefully ALWAYS feel better, for a lifetime. Most people come to this realization, it just takes some longer than others.
