They are both practised by licensed practitioners with years of science education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But their methods may differ slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, if you have pain, joint stiffness, or trouble moving, we will take a closer look at these two disciplines, how they vary, what advantages they offer, and how to choose between the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does a physical therapist do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A physiotherapist, also referred to as a PT, focuses on enhancing your ability to move and work without pain, which, in turn, helps to increase your quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PT&#8217;s aim is for you to reach the highest possible degree of movement to work in everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PTs measure you, lead you through stretches and workouts, and advise you on ways to remain safe and active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Treatment with physical therapy might include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>An examination of your pain, flexibility, and movement<\/li><li>To help you get stronger and walk faster, drills, stretches, or hands-on manipulation<\/li><li>Education on posture with instruction on how to move to prevent injury or pain<\/li><li>Hot or cold therapy and several other pain relief modalities<\/li><li>A fitness approach to boost your overall well being<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You will find that you need just a couple of sessions with a PT before you see a change in your condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or, to get relief, you can need long-term PT. Your PT will review your progress and put together a plan for your treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before being certified, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elitespinecentres.com\">Physiotherapists in Singapore<\/a> must receive a doctorate in physical therapy (DPT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why use physical therapy?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>PT can be a practical choice for therapy if you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Have limited mobility because of:<ul><li>an accident<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Injury<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Surgery Operation<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>A Condition of Health<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Feeling pain associated with movement<\/li><li>You want to retain or improve your ability to move easily.<\/li><li>Strength must be built, and the consequences of a health condition must be combated, such as:<ul><li>Osteoarthritis<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Rheumatoid arthritis<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Miscellaneous sclerosis<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Parkinson&#8217;s<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Stroke&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>COPD<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does a chiropractor do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Chiropractors are certified doctoral practitioners who use a hands-on approach to relieve pain and inflammation by manipulating body parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea behind chiropractic treatment is that with a chiropractor&#8217;s interventions, your body can heal itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like physical therapy, chiropractic treatment does not require taking medications or having surgery. Before undergoing more invasive therapies, you might want to check out chiropractic care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many health problems for people of all ages are protected by chiropractic treatment. It focuses on the musculoskeletal and nervous systems in particular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elitespinecentres.com\">chiropractor in Singapore<\/a> can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Assess symptoms based on a physical examination and tests<\/li><li>Adjustments to body areas or using methods such as spinal manipulation to help relieve discomfort and inflammation<\/li><li>Explore other types of therapy<\/li><li>Recommend doing some home exercises or making lifestyle improvements to decrease pain and inflammation<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why use chiropractic care?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Chiropractic care can be a practical choice for treatment if you have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Pain in the Back<\/li><li>Pain in the neck<\/li><li>joint pain (like your knees, hips, elbow)<\/li><li>Headaches<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which therapy to choose?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what is the best way to assess which kind of care is right for you? That depends on the type of condition you have and your particular requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may often want to use both PT and chiropractic treatment to help alleviate pain and improve your quality of life, depending on your condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When trying to decide on the type of therapy you need, it&#8217;s best to speak to your doctor. Your doctor will warn you and help understand how your symptoms can be relieved by a specific therapy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are some similarities between physical therapy (also known as physiotherapy) and chiropractic treatment.
