Many people believe that Chiropractic Doctors (D.C.’s) are
not as well educated as and/or don’t undergo training as rigorous as medical
doctors (M.D.’s). This couldn’t be further from the truth! In reality, both
Chiropractic Doctoral programs and medical schools require 60-90 credit hours,
while that number is constantly increasing for D.C.’s.
Take a closer look at the class hours spent in various
medical subjects by both D.C.’s and M.D.'s:[1]
Even after all the education D.C.’s receive in school (a
whopping 4,485 hours!) and in clinics, they are required to pursue 24 hours of
continuing education per year—including seminars and lectures—if they want to
maintain their license. Many of us complete even more hours than required in
order to stay up-to-date on the most recent chiropractic methods and findings.
D.C.’s like those at Living Well Family Chiropractic spend
countless hours of their own time reading and doing research that doesn’t count
towards continuing education hours. It’s important for us to learn all there is
to know in the study of chiropractic care, and since it’s a subject that is
constantly evolving and becoming better understood, there’s always more to
learn.
We look forward to helping you reach and maintain your
personal health goals through chiropractic, and we hope that this post on the
Chiropractic Doctorate makes you feel more confident in our abilities to do so.
Working to restore
God’s perfect design in you!
