Doctors of chiropractic (DCs) use a unique approach to health and wellness. “Conservative chiropractic care” refers to manual manipulation and other non-invasive (non-surgical) methods developed to promote healing throughout the body.
DCs are educated in nationally accredited, four-year doctoral graduate school programs through a curriculum that includes a minimum of 4,200 hours of classroom, laboratory and clinical internship, with the average DC program equivalent in classroom hours to allopathic (MD) and osteopathic (DO) medical schools.
