Should I become a chiropractor?

(well, the drug lobby has tossed in it's worthless two cents) you will need at least an associate degree focused on biology and chemistry as prerequisite. the doctorate of chiropractic is a four year program. there is nothing like being able to help get sick people well, and with just your hands. that's what chiropractic is really about, but first you should know some things. there is an overabundance of spine manipulators, but there is a shortage of real chiropractors. unfortunately, most of the public hasn't a clue what the difference is. while real chiropractic is still practiced, the so-called chiropractic colleges are substituting more and more medically oriented pseudoscience under pressure from the corrupt powers that be. you can still learn the real thing, but you must be motivated to seek it out on your own. start by learning and practicing the skills you will need on a daily basis, and you'll be far ahead of your classmates when it comes time to see patients in clinic. practice leg length checks, prill tests, and muscle testing. they are relatively simple, but require a lot of practice to do correctly and consistently. i would learn to analyze neurocalograph readings also. once you acquire a reputation for results, wether your patients understand how chiropractic gets them or not, your practice will naturally grow.
