Q: What is the best College for Doctor of Chiropractic in California (moreso southern – Los angeles area…)?
looking at becomming a chiropractor… and focusing on maybe Cleveland Chiropractic College or Southern California University of Health Sciences or life chiropractic college west (though the first two are preferable due to distance).

Just looking for recommendations of college’s and any advice! Thanks!

A: Hi there, good luck and congratulations in advance! I have a few friends that went to Cleveland and are doing great. That is the one that comes to my mind the quickest and am familiar with it because of them. I have also heard of SCUHS and have one friend in San Francisco that attended Life, so I think you are on the right track so far! I myself would probably choose Cleveland….No bones about it LOL! (But that’s just an opinion) However, check them all out before you commit….There are so many. Great profession….Good luck!

Q: Does anyone know anything about Western States Chiropractic College in Portland?
I am thinking of attending this school in Portland and would like any personal advice- from what the school is like, to the best places to live in Portland. I would be moving from Austin, TX.

A: If you’re seriously considering chiropractic as a career, please consider Palmer College in Davenport. I’d highly recommend visiting to get a first-hand appreciation for where chiropractic was founded. It’s arguably the best chiropractic school in the world. Even if it’s not the right fit for you, it would help you in your decision-making process. Check out the website below. I hope this helps.

A: I worked for a graduate of Palmer (Davenport), Here is his website…he may have some information for you (you could even email him…I am sure he could answer any ?? for you)!! GOOD for you for thinking of a career in chiropractic…we need more people like YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

Q: Chiropractic?
Well I was wondering if a Chiropractic’s pay is good comparable to the amount of years in college someone has to spend (Get a Bachleor’s Degree and then 4 years of Chiropractic College)

So is the pay any good?

I know the pay, I just want to know if that’s a good pay compared to the amount of years they spend learning in college which is around 7-8

Q: A good, VERY INEXPENSIVE gift for a graduate from Palmer College of Chiropractic by noon tomorrow?
It’s for my father. The gift we were going to give him is not possible now. It can’t be expensive, and it needs to be ready by noon tomorrow. Please help. Ideas of something that can be made quickly are also appreciated.
P.S. Just giving money is something I won’t and can’t do.

A: First of all let me congratulate your friend on their life changing accomplishment, I salute them.
Well get to a Big 5 sporting goods store and buy either a hand grip excerciser or a grip ball, something to add more strength to the hands while not being too big or bulky nor expensive, I hope that helps you out a bit..

Q: What does the future of the chiropractic profession look like?
It seems to me that insurance companies have been cutting out more and more chiropractic services over the years. Chiropractic college tuition these days is right up there (almost) with medical school tuition, but on average DCs do not earn nearly as much as MDs. Will it be possible for DCs to make a decent living in the next 10-20 years? Are there any recent grads (within the last 5 years) that have been doing well financially?

A: I love that answer by the student~ can’t wait till she gets out of school~the fact of the matter is that chiropractors don’t make money like they did 20 years ago~ And i don’t care if you know someone who is doing great i will show you thousands that are not. My class of 60 less than 10 are still practicing i just graduated in 2003. Worst mistake of my life. If i didn’t have the student loans it wouldn’t be so bad. Do not get into this field!!!!!!!!!!

Q: The Chiropractic career.?!!? Money.. College expeirence..Status? Right choice?
What do you people think of the chiropractic career? Im a senior in highschool and im going to attend university of bridgeport for their College of Chiropractics program and become a doctor there. Is it a good profession? How long will does it take to become one?

make alot of money?
Less stressful job?
Many job oppurtunities?

A: Don’t do it. Chiropractors are scam artists. There’s a reason they don’t teach it at real medical schools – it doesn’t work and it never did. It’s a scam. Don’t waste your time, money, or health on it. You’ll spend almost as much time and money training for it as you would to become a real doctor – so if you really want to help people, become a real doctor instead.

Q: Only people who are in the Chiropractic field or have legit knowledge of it please?
I’m considering becoming a chiropractor, and am curious what some of the more common degrees are entering into a chiropractic college since there aren’t many science classes required for admission?
Thanks!

A: Chiropractors are quacks. Chiropractic is not a serious Health Profession. See the articles.

Q: Does Anyone have any Personal Opinions on Chiropractic College?
Please give personal and or friends, workmates, etc, experience at Palmer, or any other Chiropractic College.

I am considering being a chiropractor, and I know much information, but I wanted to get inside information from people’s personal experience/that of a friend.

Also, I am not looking for, “You should not go for Chiropractic, you should go to be a Dr. or something” and I am not looking for an answer like, “Call the college and ask to talk to someone going there” Because that is not what I’m looking for, thank you anyways.

Thanks in advance for answering everyone! :-)

A: National University of Health Sciences Chiropractic Program in Lombard IL.
You use the word “mates” , are you from the UK?

Two friends graduated from above program. Both run their own office and are doing a thriving business. It was hard,intense work and prepared them well.

If you plan on opening your own business I highly recommend taking some small business classes too

Q: texas chiropractic college?
Has anyone attended this college? If so when? and how is the overall “feel” of the college?

A: The “feel” of the college is anti-intellectual, anti-scientific, superstitious. This is true of all chiropractic colleges — regardless of whether they teach the “straight” or “mixer” philosophies of chiroquackery.

If you want to do the bone-cracking stuff in the framework of a respected profession, look into Osteopathy.

Q: Does anyone have any information about Chiropractic college?
such as… How long it takes, (min. and max.)
Personal experience/that of a friend..
What would be good pre-college experience for it to make the college classes easier (classes to take in high school), How many credits you need to get there, How much it costs, What are some good colleges…

I was thinking about going to Palmer or that one in South Carolina. any opinions on those at all?

Thanks in advance for all your help.
p.s., I know that this is sort of in the wrong devision, but I thought ppl would answer more here.
Did it work??? :-D
Yeah I know, thats why I want to go, it seems like a really great college.
Yeah, I know, thats why I want to go, it seems like a really great college.
