What is the difference between a chiropractor and massage therapist?

Answer:
Many health insurance companies will pay for a certain amount of chiro visits, but they may not cover any massage therapy visits simply because massages are not considered curative medical treatment. Massages just feel good.Also, I believe the amount of schooling that a chiropractor has to attend is lengthier and more involved than what a massage therapist has to learn. A chiropractor is closer to a doctor, in other words. A therapist is not.

About $20.00 an hour.

A chiropractor adjusts the alignment of bones, mainly in the back. A massage therapist kneads tight muscles and fascia which could be pulling those bones out of alignment.
