Oh, good grief .....   I don't know where the heck you got that bad information, but ....  YES .....   Podiatrists ARE medical doctors.

BTW .....  a PCP is a Primary Care Physician.

@Reba055

a podiatrist is a Dpm, not an md.  They go to podiatry school, not regular medical school. There is nothing to argue about.

Apparently LibbyAnnE has never had a bad experience with a MD. Well I have and some can be as incompetent as other specialists can.. The Chiropracter I had for years, he passed away, helped me when some MDs could not. Since I have a fusion in my neck he would not even consider manipulating there. I think the statement that you do not trust anyone but the particular MDs you mentioned is a little rash imo.

This is one of the long known risks to cervical spine manipulations for subluxation, albeit a small one. I would not have this done. I decided many years based on this widely available information, at the time.
