Liscensing of the Chiropractic Specialty




Chiropractic, which comes from the Greek words “chiros” and “praktikos” meaning "done by hand", was founded in 1895 by D. D. Palmer.   Chiropractic, which is now practiced in over 100 countries, is a well recognized health care profession used to diagnose and treat mechanical disorders of the spine and musculoskeletal system.

After completing an equivalent to a Bachelor’s Degree, a  Doctor of Chiropractic takes more hours in Anatomy, Physiology, Diagnosis and Neurology than those in typical medical school programs.

These three years of extra hours of study, require the following:
Year 1: Study of basic sciences that are the foundation of chiropractic, including: Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry, Diagnosis and Neurology, along with Pathology and Bacteriology. 
Year 2: Chiropractic Technique, X-ray and Practice Management are added.
Year 3: Devotion to caring for patients in an outpatient clinic setting as well as business preparation. 

A Doctor of Chiropractic will take four National Board of Chiropractic Exams throughout their three years of study.  Upon completion, Chiropractors become licensed, qualified doctors in the United States. 

Chiropractic has grown in acceptance and influence over the years.  The World Health Organization states that when "employed skillfully and appropriately, chiropractic care is safe and effective for the prevention and management of a number of health problems."

Top 3 Chiropractic CONCERNS

These concerns, or as I call them anxieties , usually prevent someone from seeing a Chiropractor. And sometimes, stops the person from starting Chiropractic care after they realize they need it. Let’s see what they are and how our office has been able to ease these fears over the years. #1: “I don’t want you to break my neck.” Who hasn’t seen an action movie that involves the twisting of a neck and instantaneous eternal sleep (death)? Scary, right? ONLY in the Movies !!! Approximately 2-5 new patients per year have this permanently scared in their brain and refuse to at least give it a try. With the use of x-ray , exam and health history you have a better probability of getting a stroke from a scary movie than a chiropractic adjustment. The “ popping sound ” of the adjustment is the release of joint pressure similar to the feel and sound of your knuckle popping. The initial muscle relaxation alone after your first neck adjustment is usually enough to break this anxiety . #2: “...

THERE IS A RADICAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEDICINE AND CHIROPRACTIC!

This article was written by Herman Dunn, on our behalf to avoid bias. We have all been indoctrinated into the medical model, and few of us have much understanding of chiropractic procedures.  Each is distinct, and it is important to know the difference if you wish to make intelligent health care choices. Allow me to explain further. First of all, let me make it clear that Chiropractic is not better than Medicine nor vice versa – they are just different.  The practice of medicine saves lives!  We need to know the truth about it, however, in order to use it appropriately. If we view the scale of our state of health as a range from perfect health to extreme sickness, we can distinguish the focus of Chiropractic from the focus of Medicine and clearly see the difference between the two.  Medicine is primarily concerned with the sickness end of the scale, and the Medical Doctors are expert at identifying and treating illness.   Chiropractic Doctors foc...
