What education do Doctors of Chiropractic receive?

Licensed chiropractors are entitled, by law and education, to use the title of "Doctor of Chiropractic."  Those who practice chiropractic are also called "Chiropractic Physician" or simply, "Chiropractor."  Chiropractors receive expert knowledge of the body through the study of basic sciences, clinical sciences, body mechanics, and chiropractic techniques. The study of chiropractic emphasizes anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology, biomechanics, x-ray, and spinal adjusting techniques. Adapted from: Logan College of Chiropractic: "What is Chiropractic".
