What is the difference between an orthopedist and a chiropractor?

Orthopedics · Chicago, IL

Orthopedists are medical doctors who treat musculoskeletal conditions using both surgical and non-surgical methods. Chiropractors focus on spinal adjustments and non-surgical treatments for nerve, muscle, and joint conditions, without performing surgery.
