To practice, chiropractors are held to strict standards of education, testing, and licensing. Licensed chiropractors must complete an accredited four-year postgraduate chiropractic program to receive their Doctor of Chiropractic degree. To obtain a license to practice, they must pass four separate national exams and meet the requirements of the state in which they intend to practice.
Chiropractors are specialists, and they work closely with primary care physicians to provide comprehensive healthcare solutions for patients. They’re trained in how to assess, diagnose, recommend, and administer treatments for physical issues.
