Yes, chiropractors are doctors of chiropractic, just like a medical doctor is a doctor of medicine (drugs) and a dentist is a doctor of dentistry.

Chiropractors do a variety of things when it comes to healthcare, and have several different specialties within chiropractic, much like a medical doctor can specialize, so can chiropractors.

Sometimes during an exam, we may need to see certain areas of injury to adequately examine it, and at those times some clothing may need to be removed. For example, when there is bruising, cuts, or bleeding due to an injury to a hip, knee, shoulder, or foot.
