Chiropractic Education:
In order to receive the Doctorate of Chiropractic (DC), candidates must complete four academic years of doctorate-level education. For the first two years, this education mirrors medical school, with classes covering anatomy, biochemistry, physiology, pathology, radiology and diagnosis. Chiropractors take more units in neurology than general-practitioner MD’s. The chiropractic education diverges from the medical education as they study adjustive techniques rather than pharmacology and surgery. Chiropractors must complete an internship and must also pass National Board Examinations prior to being licensed. Doctors of Chiropractic are licensed to practice in all 50 states and make up the third largest licensed health care provider group in the United States.
