Chiropractic Physicians are licensed and board-certified doctors. As with all other physician specialties, to earn a Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree, candidates must first complete a rigorous four-year pre-med undergraduate program. From there, students who choose to specialize in the neuromuscular and skeletal systems attend chiropractic school, while others may pursue medical or dental school depending on their focus. Chiropractic training includes intensive studies in anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and manual adjustment techniques.
Like other primary care physicians, Chiropractic Physicians can choose to focus on a variety of extensive post-graduate education medical specialties, like orthopedics, neurology, radiology, pediatrics, and more.
