To answer your question, if you go to a chiropractor, you are taking the conservative route, go to an orthopedic doctor, you are looking for DRUGS, or surgery...Granted NOT all chiropractors are ethical and have a solid understanding of what they are doing, BUT that would also apply to orthopedic doctors!
The "ole boy" was the exception to the rule, his educational background was, master's degree in bio-chemistry, PHD in human anatomy, laboratory and classroom instructor in human dissection techniques and board certified chiropractor for 30 years...His belief has always been that there is room for both conservative and aggressive approaches to restoring health...Those decisions should be made by the doctor and patient....His patients came from all over and his poor ole' hands would still be helping patients now, EXCEPT he is LOVING his TV retirement, oh, and GOLF!!!!
