Chiropractors begin their education by getting an undergraduate degree with a focus in the sciences. After graduation, they move on to a four-year chiropractic program with both classes and hands-on experience. All states in the United States require that chiropractors obtain a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from a Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE) accredited college.

Some chiropractors choose to specialize in a certain area. They do an additional residency that lasts between two and three years. There are over 100 different chiropractic methods. No one method is necessarily better than another. Some chiropractors choose to specialize in several different areas, which they may describe as using “diversified” or “integrated” techniques. Regardless of specialty, all chiropractors must obtain a license to practice by taking an exam. They must also keep current in the field by taking regular continuing education classes.

Chiropractic medicine is a healthcare profession that focuses on the relationship between the body’s structure, mainly the spine, and its functioning. Although practitioners may use a variety of treatment approaches, they primarily perform adjustments (manipulations) to the spine or other parts of the body with the goal of correcting alignment problems, alleviating pain, improving function, and supporting the body’s natural ability to heal itself.
