After undergraduate studies, today’s chiropractic physician
completes and additional four year curriculum of over 4,500 college classroom
hours of health sciences.
- Today’s Doctor of Chiropractic is well educated. The science of chiropractic
requires a special emphasis on anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology,
biomechanics, X-ray, spinal adjusting techniques and related subjects.
This demanding curriculum prepares chiropractic doctors to locate
the Vertebral Subluxation Complex and help correct the resulting nervous
system dysfunction.
- To graduate with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree, each candidate passes the
demanding National Board Examination. Then, Doctors apply to a governmental
or professional licensing board and pass a still more difficult test before
being granted the privilege to practice.
- A chiropractic education never ends. Most doctors complete postgraduate
instruction for license renewal and to stay current on the latest scientific
research.
