After the required pre-med undergraduate
studies, today's Doctor of Chiropractic
completes an additional four-year
program at a chiropractic college.
|
|
|
|
Chiropractic doctors take a natural
approach to health. Their education
places special emphasis on anatomy,
physiology, pathology, neurology, biomechanics,
X-ray, spinal adjusting techniques,
and related subjects. This demanding
curriculum prepares chiropractic doctors
to locate and help correct nervous system
dysfunction that can cause disease and
ill health.
Before graduation, there is a closely
supervised internship at the chiropractic
college clinic. This gives doctors valuable
hands-on experience with actual patients.
|
|
|
Before beginning practice, your doctor passed
rigorous National Board Examinations. Then
he or she applied to the licensing board and
passed an even more difficult test, before
being granted the privilege to practice.
|
|
Most doctors complete many hours of post-graduate
instruction for their annual license renewal.
Virtually every doctor attends seminars, scientific
symposia, and reads professional journals
to keep up with the latest research.
Your doctor is well-equipped with the education,
skills, and clinical experience needed to
detect, reduce, and help prevent the Vertebral
Subluxation Complex. Which chiropractic college
did your doctor attend?
