We’re better together. 🤝
Last week I came across a post calling chiropractors “TEMU physiotherapists” and honestly? It’s disappointing to see healthcare professionals tearing each other down.
Let me set the record straight:
Chiropractors in Australia complete a 5-year university degree (that’s actually one year longer than physiotherapy). We’re trained in musculoskeletal assessment, diagnosis, manual therapy, exercise prescription, and rehabilitation - all underpinned by evidence-based practice and ongoing research.
But here’s the thing - this isn’t about who’s “better.”
Physios are excellent at what they do. So are osteopaths. So are chiropractors. We all bring different skills, perspectives, and approaches to patient care. And our patients benefit most when we work TOGETHER, not against each other.
The turf wars between healthcare professions need to stop. We should be collaborating, referring to each other, and focusing on what actually matters - getting people out of pain and back to doing what they love.
There’s room for all of us in healthcare. Let’s support each other instead of tearing each other down. 💪
