No. In NL, only chiropractors who have doctoral-level diplomas may legally use the word doctor. Chiropractors who trained in EU schools often have lower level degrees. (In the U.S., only full Doctors of Chiropractic can get a license. Not so in EU). This issue has been decided by the highest court in the Netherlands after American-trained Doctor Servando Molina was sued for using his correct title. Dutch courts studied this issue and found that US-certified Doctors of chiropractic actually have an equal or higher higher level of education and clinical training than Dutch huisarts. Doctors of chiropractic are now legally recognized in NL as specialists in musculoskeletal complaints. The ones who sued my colleague did the chiropractic profession a big favor. All insurance companies in NL must now offer coverage for chiropractic care. Any health care professional who questions another’s credentials simply has an inferiority complex.
