Physical Therapy or Medicine

The biggest difference between Physical Therapist and medical doctors lies in their preferred method of caring for people. Medical doctors are trained in the use of medicines (chemicals that affect your internal biochemistry) and surgery. Consequently, if you have a chemical problem, such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, an infection, a torn ligament or a fracture medical doctors can be very helpful. However, if your problem is that your shoulder is not moving properly or stiffness at your spine or you have soft tissue damage causing pain, there is no chemical in existence that can fix it. You need a physical solution to correct a physical problem. This is where Physical Therapist can help you.

A Physical Therapy College grants a DPT or Doctorate of Physical Therapy degree. Physical Therapist are licensed as health care providers in every U.S. State and many countries around the world. There is a lot competition for acceptance in Physical Therapy school. The school curricula are extremely rigorous and many ways similar to medical and chiropractic schools. A Doctor of Physical Therapy have to pass a national and state board exams to practice.
