Chiropractic vs Physical Therapy: Clearing Up the Confusion

When choosing between Chiropractic or Physical Therapy, it can be hard to tell which is best for you. Many of their treatments and approaches overlap, but when applied in the right situations, they are one and the same.

Historically, chiropractors are known for their hands-on approach to loosen and limber the body, while physical therapists strengthen areas of instability and weakness through exercise. These days, both practitioners up-to-date on research and modern techniques will use each others approaches to provide therapy to their patients. For example, chiropractors learn that rehabilitation exercises are effective for their patients recovery. And physical therapists find that spinal manipulation helps certain conditions and injuries.

Bottom line, if you suffer from pain that is impacting your life, do see any highly-recommended Chiropractor or Physical Therapist. At Manhattan Sports Therapy we use an integrative approach between the two therapies so you don’t have to choose! They are complementary and not all that different.

Having performed surgery for decades my neck And back have been damaged. I can honestly say that Rachel has kept me functioning at a high level. Nobody else was. Despite being a surgical candidate which is refused to have she managed to overcome all of my problems. The office is also immaculately clean ( I am a germaphobe). Chiro in the past was hit or miss. Sometimes it helped and sometimes it actually made things worse. This has never happened with Rachel. I always feel better. Guaranteed. She will bend over backwards to accommodate my schedule. She is a rising star.

The entire staff is very helpful, kind, and extremely efficient. If it wasn't for Dr. Rolland Miro I strongly feel the bursitis in my shoulder would still be in major pain. If you have shoulder pain, rotator cuff issues, or bursitis don't hesitate, RUN to see this man! I came to Manhattan Sports Therapy skeptical because I had already visited two other physical therapist who were not getting me better. I had pain for 9 months until visiting MST. Miro was patient with my healing process and was always transparent when telling me what stages I was in my recovery. Now I am fully recovered back to pumping iron and putting on a backpack without pain. Thank you to everyone in that office for making my experience great from start to finish.

I was having severe inner hip and lower back pain for months. Every step I took was painful. I couldn't run, bike, swim or even attempt a workout. I started seeing a PT twice a week for a month and nothing happened, in fact, my pain increased. So, I decided to try another Physician and I found Manhattan Sports Therapy and Dr. Rolland Miro. After my first appointment, I knew I made the right choice. I started seeing Dr. Rolland twice a week. After my first week, I could already feel a HUGE difference. After week three, the pain in my hip was completely gone. It's now been two months and as I continue my treatment, I'm feeling better and better. I ran five miles for the first time in over a year last week! I highly highly recommend Dr. Rolland. He's the best at what he does and he's very knowledgable when it comes to health and fitness all around.
