You’re in good hands when you visit our chiropractors.

Educational and licensing requirements for doctors of chiropractic (DCs) are among the most rigorous of any of the health care professions. This extensive education prepares chiropractors to diagnose health care problems, treat the problems when they are within their scope of practice and refer patients to other health care practitioners when appropriate.

Our chiropractors went through a curriculum that included hours of classroom, laboratory and clinical internship. They also had to pass a national board exam administered by NBCE to obtain a license in the state of Indiana. Additionally, our chiropractors must meet yearly continuing education requirements to maintain their license in Indiana.

All of our chiropractors acquired nearly four years of pre-medical undergraduate college education, including courses in biology, inorganic and organic chemistry, physics, psychology and related lab work.

Once they were accepted into an accredited chiropractic college, the requirements became even more demanding — four to five academic years of professional study.

Well versed in the healing sciences, similar to that of medical doctors, our chiropractors and expert in areas, such as anatomy, physiology, rehabilitation, nutrition and public health. A chiropractor’s education is even more intensive than their MD counterparts!

Like other primary health care doctors, chiropractic students spend a significant portion of their curriculum studying clinical subjects related to evaluating and caring for patients. Typically, as part of their professional training, they must complete a minimum of a one-year clinical-based program dealing with actual patient care. In total, a chiropractor’s curriculum includes a minimum of 4,200 hours of classroom, laboratory and clinical experience.
