Are Chiropractors well educated and trained?
Before practicing chiropractic, Alberta Doctors of Chiropractic complete a four year, 4500 hour curriculum of specialized instruction and hands-on training at an accredited Chiropractic College. This is after completing an undergraduate degree and/or the required prerequisite courses. In order to earn the privilege to practice they must also pass National Board and Clinical Competency exams. In Alberta, chiropractic is a regulated health profession that is governed by legislation and required to comply with standards of practice laid out by the College of Chiropractors of Alberta.
