There are so many anecdotal claims of relief from pain from chiros, that's it's a least worth a look to see how valid they are.
Of course I'm not saying that, nor did I indicate that in my post. I only asked you to be more specific as to your claims of "risks" in physical therapy. Your only risk in physical therapy is that you better be working with a PT who knows what they are doing, and not there to "skim off the top" like some other health care professionals do.
Yes, PT's work closely with MD's, usually as their "liason" between them and their patients, as to how one is progressing in rehab.
After surgeries, PT's work closely with the surgeon, and usually there are "risks," guidelines, what have you, established per the proceedure, to help direct the level and appropriateness of care. A competent PT has no difficulty with that. Any "risk" involved is usually due to the part of a reckless PT.

I agree. They have a great deal to offer in the health care industry, and not all of them should be completely written off as "quacks." As long as they have had the valid, scientific studies to prove what they do is beneficial, (and not harmful) I have no problem with it.
