My wife is a physiotherapist. I believe you call them physical therapists in America.
She has a BSc in Physiotherapy, a Master's degree in Sports physiotherapy and a Master's degree in Manipulative physiotherapy. This puts her in the top 3% of qualified physiotherapists in Australia. I'm also told that Australia produces some of the best physiotherapists in the world.
She believes that chiropractors are over-rated, do not understand the underlying mechanics and dynamics of human anatomy as well as they should and often do more harm than good. Having said that, what they do (manipulating joints) is what she has one of her Master's degrees in. She accepts that they often do some good, but that an injured person is best recommended going to see a qualified physio who is better trained in treating them; not only their particular joints, but other related topics such as referred pain, the human nervous systems, muscular injuries etc.
Make of this as you will.
