Someone I know refers to her boyfriend as a doctor (He is a chiropractor).

If by real doctor you mean MD, no.

Do you feel like you need to correct her? I mean, she is wrong, but she's so wrong that I would just feel bad for her and move on.

That's pathetic. They are not real doctors in any sense of the word.

Chiropractors are for the same people that think counting steps on their Fitbit is exercise

Lots of ignorance in this thread. Chiropractors are doctors, but they are not physicians. Anyone with a doctorate degree (DC for chiropractors) is a doctor.

I only know of one chiro i consider a real doctor. He had his md and own practice before going to chiro school, then he started with needleless acupuncture. For some he is a god send, kind weird to me but he is pretty honest about it and will straight tell you he cant help in a lot of situations.

Still acupuncture? Just weird to me a real doctor would embrace that

Can a chiropractor fix something no other doctor can fix by modern day medicine? Absolutely. Have had my back aligned several times and feel much better afterwards

Our chiropractor wishes that they didn't call themselves doctors because that's not what they do I think his attitude makes him a better chiropractor for the limited thing that he does do
