Hi Elizabeth, Maybe you already made up your mind, but both professions can assess and manage your leg pain. The approach will vary fro practitioner to practitioner, so I would suggest calling first to see what treatments they have to offer. While physiotherapists tend to be relatively homogenous with their treatment approach (mostly active therapy with assistance with therapy modalities and manual therapy), chiropractors can be more eclectic; some only do manual treatments like adjustments to the spine, while others use mostly therapeutic modality equipment, and others still who are more exercise oriented. Some chiropractors are a mix of all of the above. In the end, you should go with a practitioner who you feel comfortable with and is offering a treatment approach that makes sense to you. Be well,

Hi Futbol99! Job security is not a guarantee in life, unfortunately. There are plenty of careers that were secure at one point and then completely destabilized afterwards. Even medical doctors were in over-supply at one point and some physician specialists are having difficulty finding work today. The only thing you can do is pursue the career you are most passionate about and if you truly love it, you will find a way to make it work. If you truly love both professions equally, then it sounds like your real decision maker is in any or all of the following: 1. How fast you want to finish school (quicker with pharmacy) 2. Money invested (I assume pharmacy would be cheaper) 3. Earning potential (probably higher with medicine, but if you want to run your own business, the sky is the limit for either profession) Some will argue job security as a 4th, citing medicine as the better option, but that is only the case RIGHT NOW. Things could change significantly once you are done school. Hope that helps.
