Fun Facts about Chiro | |
 |
- The curriculum for chiropractic school includes a minimum of 4,200 hours of classroom, laboratory and clinical experience (this is after an undergraduate degree has already been earned).
- The educational program includes training in the basic medical sciences, including anatomy with human dissection, physiology, biochemistry, endocrinology, differential diagnosis, radiology, and therapeutic techniques. This means, a doctor of chiropractic can diagnose and either treat or refer patients to an appropriate specialist, making them a portal of entry doctor.
- "...The clinical outcomes measures showed that manual therapy[spinal adjustments] resulted in faster recovery than physiotherapy and general practitioner care. Moreover, total costs of the manual therapy-treated patients were about one-third of the costs of physiotherapy or general practitioner care."
-- Korthals-de Bos et al (2003), British Medical Journal
- "Cervical spine manipulation was associated with significant improvement in headache outcomes in trials involving patients with neck pain and/or neck dysfunction and headache."
-- McCrory, Penzlen, Hasselblad, Gray (2001), Duke Evidence Report
- Low back pain is the single leading cause of disability worldwide, according to the Global Burden of Disease 2010.
