Your Doctor of Chiropractic must satisfy a demanding six years of academic study, then he/she must meet approximately 600 hours of externship before they are required to pass a stringent national board examination. These requirements will qualify them for licensure in all states and the Canadian provinces.
In most states, including Texas, the Doctor of Chiropractic has to stay abreast of the latest health care techniques by attending seminars and other special study programs.
So, when you are needing relief from any of a wide variety of ailments or suffering, your Doctor of Chiropractic is qualified and experienced to help you feel well again. If you know someone, who is uninformed about chiropractic education and requirements, why not share this information with them.
Give your chiropractor and yourself, the chance you both deserve. |
