What education required to become a chiropractor?

If you’re looking to become a chiropractor, there a few things that you should look into first. The background of the job and what it’s like as a career are just a couple of things, however, one of the most important is what education you will need to start off.


When becoming a doctor in this medical field, it’s important to look at what is required when getting a license. In the United States, there are specific schools of chiropractic medicine that are licensed by chiropractic boards. This licensing is called “accreditation”. These schools have been researched and investigated to make sure that the specific criteria outlined by the Council on Chiropractic Education, or simply known as the CCE, is followed. A list of the school can be found on the CCE’s website, here.

Most learning will be done hands-on, though there are a few textbooks that will need to be studied as well. As outlined by Naturalhealers.com, there is a specific order that students learn chiropractic techniques. First, they must become familiar with palpation or using one’s hands to spot issues on the human body. Next, students will learn how to adjust patients in different areas of the back, from the easy mid-section to the harder cervical area before branching into different sciences and other techniques.
