A chiropractor focuses on treating musculoskeletal issues such as back pain and neck pain by manipulating joints and soft tissues. An osteopathic doctor specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal problems and conditions. An acupuncturist treats various health ailments with acupuncture, which involves inserting very thin needles into specific points on the body.
