Chiropractor, PT, or OT? Who do you actually see? 🤔
We get this question a lot, so we made a cheat sheet.
There’s more overlap than most people think. Chiropractors and physical therapists both diagnose, order imaging, prescribe rehab exercise, and use hands-on manual therapy and dry needling. All three professions share the fundamentals: patient education, injury prevention, and home exercise programs.
Where we differ:
🟣 Chiropractors specialize in spinal and extremity adjustments and can give in-depth nutrition and supplement guidance.
🟡 Physical therapists often work in hospital and specialty settings like cardiopulmonary, wound care, oncology, and ICU rehab.
🔵 Occupational therapists focus on daily living skills, custom hand splinting, and cognitive and sensory rehab.
At CB Movement Co., we blend chiropractic care with progressive rehab to get you back to the trails, the slopes, and everything in between. And when you need a different kind of provider, we’ll point you to the right one.
