Chiropractors Education
A question I get asked a lot is what's the difference in a Chiropractors education and that of a medical doctors. The answer is there are more similarities than not. Chiropractors have more class time while MD's have more time in residencies and internships. For this reason it is best to pick a Chiropractor with years of experience. Look for a Chiropractor with a URAC board certification and ten years experience. Ask around, talk to people you work with or your medical doctor when choosing a Chiropractor. Word of mouth is always the best. You wouldn't pick your neurologist from the local lawn and garden show, you shouldn't your Chiropractor either.

His goal is to provide appropriate conservative care while recognizing when additional medical evaluation or referral may be necessary.
