A chiropracter CANNOT prescribe!

No. Check with your chiropractor because many times clinics have DCs and MDs on staff and the MD can prescribe any needed medication.

NO,a DC is not an MD. You have to see an MD for prescription drugs.

A chiropractor can prescribe "holistic" or all natural herbs, vitamins etc..."Which is much better for you than Synthetic prescription drugs" anyway!
