Is a chiropractors opinion on permanent injuries worth anything in a lawsuit?

My chiropractor would like to help me but has been assured by another chiropractor that her opinion might even hurt my case because she is not an MD. I do have an orthopedic doctor that will stand up for me, but it seems to me that my chiropractors opinion could do nothing but help. Why aren't chiropractors more respected? Mine has helped me manage my pain and heal injuries that no one else could or would touch.

    It's all politics. It just boils down that the MD had that extra piece of paper and the chiropractor doesn't.

    i was involved in a personal injury lawsuit.i had injuries to my back.i ask the lawyers if it would help to go to a chiropactic doctor.they informed me that the courts do not give in credence to them.unless you go to a md the courts will not look at a chiropactic as any thing to do with importance
