Most are not doctors......lmao. they go to a two year school and have little knowledge of internal medicine. No self respecting doctor would be a chiropractor. A real doctor puts in 8 years of schooling and then years of residency.
D.O.T. physical is a joke!!!!

Lol I didn't expect some of these responses, but oh well.
For the record, I never had any trouble passing any DOT physical, nor do I go to the doctor unless I'm half dead. And it certainly isn't about getting pills or narcotics. The only pills I'll take is antibiotics if I'm sick. And I better be really sick for that.
I know of some very good chiropractor's, and I have nothing against any of them. They're out to make a living just like anyone else. And honestly, I'd prefer to use them over a MD when possible. But I can't believe that the DOT physical is such a joke that they'll let a chiropractor do them. To me it's like taking a car to a bicycle repair facility to get an annual safety inspection. They might know the basics, but do they really know what they're looking for?
My family doctor and I don't get along so well anymore. Last winter I was having some pain at the lower part of my chest. It would come and go, and I figured it was some bad indigestion. But it got to the point where I'd be doubled over from the pain. I figured at that point it was a hernia of some kind. Well, the doctor simply said " You can take these pills, they will cover up the problem, and then we'll know where to look.Or go take a test at the hospital which is $1300 and then we can see if there is an issue with a hernia or something else". So, I opted for the $1300 test. I wanna fix the problem, not cover it up with pills.
They found nothing. Said everything looked great. I went home and thought about it. And I realized I'd been stressed out over some things, and figured it might be stress related. So I eliminated the stress, and I've been feeling great. I'm not making drug companies wealthier, not taking pills for something I don't need. But the doctor is pissed because he lost out on more visits. And probably a kickback from the drug companies. -
Idk about the physical thing I’m a young guy with tinnitus and some other stuff but I pass just fine.
As to the bone dr. You can cry if you want to but when I was doing full contact combat sports they were my friend.
I still have chronic shoulder, hip, and neck problems and a chiropractor helps. My shoulders grind badly and my hip will lock up on the occasion. After an adjustment I’m good to go.
I am part of the population with naturally loose joints so I can actually feel a difference after an adjustment. Massages are painful adjustments are not. -
You may be thinking of the new age jokers who think they can cure the flu with an adjustment. That’s NOT what I’m talking about, most are NOT like that and only seek to help people with pain related to injury, stress, or posture without drugs.
Obviously if you have a broken bone healing you should not go for an adjustment -
