The medical establishment has put Chiropractic into the realm of complimentary alternative medicine, and while true it is an alternative to traditional western medicine, each Chiropractor is a primary care provider. The Chiropractic profession is heavily regulated in the United States and Canada, but the terminology of what a Chiropractor is called can vary in each area. In Washington State the typical terms are Doctor of Chiropractic or Chiropractor, but some states insist on the name Chiropractic Physician.
The requirements to become a licensed Chiropractor are stringent, consisting of at least three years of pre-professional study in college prior to a four year education at an accredited college of Chiropractic. As of today, the United States has 17 accredited chiropractic colleges in the United States. The accreditation of chiropractic schools is given by the Council on Chiropractic Education(CCE) that is certified by the U.S. Department of Education.
Following graduation, a Chiropractor must pass the necessary National and State board examinations which can are requited in both the U.S. and Canada. Once licensed, continuing education credits are required each year in order to make sure the Doctor of Chiropractic is keeping up with the latest in technique, education, and philosophy.
There are approximately 70,000 chiropractors practicing in the United States and Canada. Due to the ever changing climate of health insurance, HMO's, PPO's, and socialized medicine, it is best to check if Chiropractic care is covered by your plan. The vast majority do take insurance and are covered, but it is always best to know in advance.
One of the best things about Chiropractic is the ability to find a Chiropractor who uses a certain technique that is right for that person. Since each Chiropractor learns a variety of ways to adjust a person, depending on their specific needs, the variety of practice styles can vary. However, this variety makes sure there is the right fit for everyone who seeks care.
Another great thing about Chiropractic are the continued scientific studies proving the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic adjustments on a persons health and nervous system. Staying on the cutting edge of science, it is a great time to be a Chiropractor.
We even consider what the patient might be most comfortable with, as long as the technique we utilize will be most effective.
That being said, I have a great appreciation for the effects that chiropractic techniques like NUCCA, Atlas-Orthogonal, and Network chiropractic care can have on the nervous system and a persons health.
The problem ends up being what your expectation of what a chiropractor does, and it might be an idea to familiarize yourself with the description of the technique on the considered chiropractor's website, or calling the office to know which technique may be utilized.
