Chiropractor

Duties and Responsibilities:

Chiropractic doctors diagnose and treat patients whose health problems are associated with the body's muscular, nervous and skeletal systems.Chiropractors work in clean, comfortable offices. They spend a great deal of time on their feet and use hands-on manipulation techniques to resolve imbalances in the patient's skeletal system.

Chiropractors work a average of 40 hours a week but some may work longer and it’s not uncommon. Solo Practitioners are the ones that work on their own hours and still have to change up their schedule so that it could work with their patients.

Salary:

$90,000

Education:

Most chiropractic medicine programs require that applicants have at least three years of undergraduate education, and an increasing number require a bachelor's degree.  In either case, your undergraduate studies must include a prescribed number of prerequisite courses, as defined by the field's accrediting body, the Council on Chiropractic Education.

Demand:

There will always be people that need to go to this type of specialist. The reason they will always be around is because people will always hurt themselves or be hurt whether it's by accident or on purpose.

Reflection: Would you like to become one? Why? Why not?

Chiropractors have always seemed really cool to me. They get to crack bones and make people feel better at the same time.I don’t see why i shouldn’t think about this career pathway.
