Other Consultants
Physical Therapists help individuals overcome injuries but they do not work on lifestyle changes. (Example: A heavy individual can develop a back or joint injury. The physical therapist would work on overcoming this injury but not on preventing further injury; such as helping the patient develop lifestyle changes, including exercise and proper nutrition.)
Chiropractors, like physical therapists, work to overcome injuries and not on developing lifestyle changes.
Dieticians help patients with their diet when specific medical conditions arise that require a drastic change in diet and where certain foods must be avoided. They do not concentrate on proper overall nutrition.
Physicians, like other medical personnel, usually do not advise on nutrition.
