Part 4/8:
To shed light on the differences between chiropractic care and physiotherapy, Dr. Kanan, a leading sports physician, was invited to discuss his views. He clarified that chiropractic is considered alternative medicine and is distinct from conventional physiotherapy. Notably, physiotherapists are required to undergo rigorous training at accredited institutions, giving them the credentials to handle injuries and rehabilitation safely.
Dr. Kanan cautioned against seeking chiropractic treatment in India, citing the lack of regulation and the potential risks of visiting unqualified practitioners. He emphasized that physiotherapists are trained to identify the complexities of pain and injury while chiropractic methods may not offer the same level of scientific understanding or patient safety.
