Chiropractic is a conservative and natural form of health care that concentrates not only on helping people with their immediate concerns, but also keeping people well. Doctors of chiropractic attempt to get to the cause of a health problem, rather than just treat the symptoms.
Chiropractic works because you are a self-healing, self-regulating organism controlled by your nervous system. Millions of instructions flow from your brain, down the spinal cord and out to every organ and tissue. Signals sent back to the brain confirm if your body is working right. Improper motion or position of the moving bones of the spine called a subluxation can interfere with this vital exchange by irritating nerves and compromising the function of affected organs and tissues. Specific spinal adjustment can help improve mind/body communications. Health often returns with improved nervous system control of the body.
Yes, to receive the Doctor of Chiropractic degree, candidates must complete extensive undergraduate prerequisites and four years of graduate-level instruction and internship at an accredited chiropractic institution. A doctor of chiropractic receives education on par with medical doctors or dentists. Before they can practice doctors of chiropractic must pass the National Boards, as well as the licensing exam for the province in which they wish to practice. The provinces require the doctors to attend continuing educational programs for annual relicensure.
