Chiropractic College

I feel like chiropractors have kind of taken a bad rap in the past few years because OHIP and a lot of insurance plans don't cover their services. Everyone seems to think that going to a chiropractor can be dangerous, because manipulating the spine the wrong way can cause serious harm. Chiropractors are licensed and regulated healthcare professionals, and it is another option if you are interested in pursuing a career in healthcare.

What Does A Chiropractor Do?

• Diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the neuro-musculoskeletal system.
• Places an emphasis on manual therapy including spinal manipulation and other joint and soft tissue techniques.
• Exercises and lifestyle counseling
• Assumes that spine problems interfere with the body's general functions and innate intelligence (what?!), a notion that brings criticism from mainstream health care
