The first thing you need to do is pick what chirp college you want to attend. There is currently 17-18 accredited colleges in the USA and 2 in canada, both of which are on the east coast. To choose you should look into each schools program for length and content. Many of the schools run a 4-5 year program but some have a 3.33 year year-round program. Most if not all of these programs require a 4 year degree or a set number of pre-rec. Credits to enter there program.

More important then the length of the program is its content. The chiropractic profession has many for
different paradigms such as straight and mixer. There is many differences between these groups and it can difficult to tell the difference but I’ll let you do your own research on that part of chiropractic. Some of the schools focus more on philosophy while others focus more on research and have a ore medical basis.

I currently am a student at NYCC which is one of the colleges that focuses on research and medical I
ideals. Here I have learned many of the same things that an MD’s learn to the same or a higher level. You also have the opportunity to learn many other techniques and modalities that are specific to chiropractic.

In Canada and in the USA you also have to pass a set on national licencing boards just like MD’s and other doctors. You can look up any chirp schools boards scores to judge how well thy educated you.

Before you any choices on what you what to do you should take some time, a day or a weekend and shadow at least 2 or more chiropractors to see th different styles that are out there.

I know know I have only talked about what it takes to become a chirp but if you want more info just send me a message and I can supply you with tons of more info.

I hope this has been informative and helpful!

Goodluck!!!

CMCC Student
Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College

If you have done your research, the CMCC requires that you have 90 semester credits in order to be eligible to apply to their chiropractic college. This is equivalent to 3 years of an undergraduate degree.

Since you are in grade 12, you have a wide variety of choices in choosing what you would like to pursue as an undergraduate degree. The CMCC does not have any preference, so you can purse your Bachelors of Science, Health Science, Engineering, Business, Music, Arts, Social Science, Psychology, or any other discipline of your choice.

The four-year Chiropractic College is a very tough and intensive program requiring a lot of work, time, and dedication. You will be learning every part of the body, its’ movement in addition to neuroscience of the brain. These are just some of the areas of study offered at CMCC. Focus on your first 3 years of university, aim for a B average or higher. Get experience with a chiropractor and apply in your 3rd year.

Good luck, if you have your heart in the right place then you can do it.

While modern ‘reform’ chiropractors have realised that the traditional chiropractic concept of ‘subluxations’ in the spine are the root cause of all disease is bunk and have rejected it, ‘Upper Cervical’ chiropractic maintains that subluxation complex is real but occurs in the upper cervical vertebrae only. This is based upon a late decision by the inventor of chiropractic, B.J. Palmer; it seriously challenged the established principles of traditional chiropractic, and still does. The camps are split.

The British Chiropractic Association does not believe in any subluxation and states: "For many years, the BCA has not supported the concept of the Vertebral Subluxation Complex in the light of the absence of evidence supporting claims made it can be the cause of disease and serious illness" http://www.gcc-uk.org/files/link_file/Guidance_on_claims_made_for_the_chiropractic_VSC_18August10.pdf Chiropractic is a confused profession.

Manipulation of the neck can be very unsafe and there has been cases of stroke following this procedure: http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/chirostroke.html The actual figures are unknown as harm from chiropractic is notoriously under reported.

So it would be nice if Mr E could for once post the proof that convinces him that what he does is actually valid, and safe.

Great question Patrick.
