I'm a little biased as I'm currently in physical therapy school but I tend to see chiropractic practices as a business model set on making adjustments that tend to be recurring whereas physical therapists try to find and fix the underlying cause.

Sometimes this means a simple fix but usually it means changing a habit/movement or strengthening/stretching.

Chiropractors have the appeal of a quick fix but very rarely (not saying always) does it end up being the case. Most of their patients claim that it works wonders but still see their chiro on a regular basis. This is not a functional long term goal obviously.

Consider the underlying problem and put in the work to fix it altogether. Again, that's my biased two cents.

Once again coming from the horse side of things, but what you are saying is true. I had been getting the horse adjusted fairly frequently dueto some si joint and pelvic issues that he came to me with off the track. Lots of strengthening work on both sides (but harder on the weak side) means adjustments last muuuch longer. Been over a year since I've had him adjusted and I'm hoping to keep it that way.
