Question
how can chiropractors charge for physical therapy without a therapist on site? Is this an isolated case or what all chiropractors do? Is this not fraud?

Answer
Hello MC,

    Chiropractors are licensed physical therapists! Most are Nationally certified depending on your state.  Also most doctors of chiropractic have 450+ more hours of schooling than medical students.  So, it is definately not fraud.

Hope the information helps,
