Though actually, students often hear the word next to and mix the two. A looks after feet. A chiropractor looks after the back and joints. Both start with chiro- (hand), because both jobs grew from the idea of treating with the hands — but the work is not the same.

組成From Greek kheír (hand) + praxis (action, practice): a person who treats by doing, with the hands. English keeps it next to chiropractic.
