Chiropractor

Chiropractors diagnose and treat health problems associated with the muscular, nervous and skeletal systems ranging from back and neck pain to rehabilitative care after an injury or surgery. Central to all chiropractic treatment is the aligning of vertebral column, when the spine isn’t in balance, nothing is in balance! Chiropractors treat imbalance through simple manual adjustments to the body without the use of any drugs or surgery. Some chiropractors also integrate other methods of alternative healing including light therapy, massage, acupuncture and the application of braces and supports to the spine.

Fifty-two percent of all chiropractors are self-employed; having either opened their own private practice or bought one from a retiring chiropractor. The demand for chiropractors is expected to increase by 14 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, due to consumer interest in alternative health care solutions. The mean salary for chiropractors in 2005 was $104,363 according to a survey conducted by Chiropractic Economics magazine. So crack those books and get into some chiropractic courses today!
