Chiropractor Alternate Career Titles: Chiropractors diagnose, evaluate and provide non-pharmaceutical care and rehabilitation to individuals with acute and chronic back, lower back and neck pain, headaches, neuro-musculoskeletal and other general health conditions Chiropractor Salary Annual: Doctor of Chiropractic Degree Become a Chiropractor Career Description The role of a Chiropractor involves caring for and treating patients with neuromusculoskeletal health problems by initially assessing their condition through a physical examination. While most people think chiropractics are just about treating back pain, neck pain, etc. By only minimizing chiropractic to musculoskeletal conditions, patients do not receive the full benefit of chiropractic. After reviewing their health history and inquiring about their concerns, Chiropractors will then thoroughly assess their reflexes, spine and posture, and can conduct tests such as x-rays. Dependent upon what the assessment and test results show, Chiropractors will next determine a neuromusculoskeletal therapy plan. If necessary, Chiropractors may also refer their patients to other healthcare professionals, in addition to providing advice on future care, general health and lifestyle best practices. Chiropractors who own and operate their own practices are further required to engage in business practices, marketing strategies, development operations and efficient record-keeping practices. In treating their patients, Chiropractors often work with Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists and other healthcare professionals. Michael Gampolo, a Chiropractor practicing in Florida, said. Unfortunately, there are still other healthcare professions who do not understand the extent of schooling, knowledge and conditions Chiropractors treat. Gampolo noted that helping people is how professionals within this occupation build their reputation and enhance their careers. Generally, most people get into the profession because they have a passion to help others, whether it be getting them out of pain or enhancing their performance on the field.

Doctor of Chiropractic D. He explained that there were multiple examinations every week. The program is a marathon, not a sprint. To maintain this license, professionals are required to take continued education courses periodically. Through these programs, Chiropractors can receive the additional training necessary to specialize in particular areas of chiropractic practice, such as geriatrics, orthopedics or pediatrics. Another way to advance in this career is to establish a practice or be self-employed. You have to have a passion for people and helping others. This is because Chiropractors are responsible not only for diagnosing their patients, but for determining the most efficient and appropriate treatment plans to help them improve their musculoskeletal conditions. A Massage Therapist is another healthcare professional who treats musculoskeletal conditions and disorders. Furthermore, they should have the interpersonal skills required to be able to communicate with patients, as well as other healthcare professionals or staff members. Patients expect their Chiropractors to be articulate in explaining all treatments and procedures, as well as to the utmost professionalism. Dexterity is important in this role due to the vast amount of time Chiropractors spend performing adjustments and manipulations on patients. Possessing organizational skills are imperative in this role to ensure that all patient records are kept in an accurate and reliable fashion, and that all appointments are met in a timely manner. Being organized is necessary when billing patients, filing insurance claims and managing staff members. These conditions can be frustrating, and Chiropractors must be understanding and sympathetic to the emotional state of their patients, in addition to the physical. Being detail-oriented is also important to ensure that all treatments are performed with precision and accuracy. Without attention to detail, mistakes in either performance or diagnoses are more likely to occur. Lifestyle Although most Chiropractors are employed full-time, roughly 25 percent seek part-time employment. Those who are self-employed can have greater flexibility with their hours.

Most healthcare insurance companies now cover these services within their plans. Today, the vast majority of Chiropractors work in offices, while others are either be self-employed or employed with a Family Physician, and the state with the highest employment level in this occupation is California. Some established practitioners will offer low income positions to recent graduates. This career in healthcare can most certainly be lucrative. Additionally, the top paying industries which employ these professionals are the offices of Physicians and the offices of Chiropractors. Ultimately, earnings depend on a professionals experience, number of hours worked and region in which they practice. Gampolo said he believes that owning a practice is more fulfilling, in addition to being more financially rewarding. Unions, Groups, Social Media, and Associations The American Chiropractic Association ACA is an organization dedicated to ensuring that Chiropractors adhere to the highest standards of professionalism, accountability, collaboration and respect. The organization seeks to ensure that every ACA Chiropractor is committed to moving the profession forward. The International Chiropractors Association ICA is an organization designed to empower humanity in the expression of maximum health, wellness and human potential through universal chiropractic expression and utilization. The organization also seeks to advance this profession throughout the world, as well as to foster professional and technical development throughout this area of study.

Michael Gampolo, DC Age: Winter Park, FL What is the single biggest suggestion you would give to someone wanting to get into this career? Becoming a Chiropractor is very expensive. They will also need to learn business skills and have an entrepreneurial spirit. You need to be out in the community and people need to know what you do. Are we going to be able to prescribe? Will our license be limited or expanded to do more in the future? I chose the career because I get to educate, teach and provide therapy to those who are in pain from recent car accidents or suffering too much to enjoy life. Another reason I chose to become a Chiropractor is because the therapies have helped me recover from a permanent back injury. I use chiropractic on a regular basis to keep my back pain at bay. The therapy enhances my health and well-being. Page 3

Chiropractors must determine the best course of action when treating a patient. They must also decide when to refer patients to other healthcare professionals. Chiropractors must be observant and pay attention to details so that they can make proper diagnoses and avoid mistakes that could harm patients.

People across all age groups are increasingly becoming interested in integrative or complementary healthcare as a way to treat pain and improve overall wellness. Chiropractic care is appealing to patients because chiropractors use nonsurgical methods of treatment and do not prescribe drugs. Chiropractic treatment of the back, neck, limbs, and involved joints has become more accepted as a result of research and changing attitudes about additional approaches to healthcare. As a result, chiropractors are increasingly working with other healthcare workers, such as physicians and physical therapists, through referrals and complementary care. The aging of the large baby-boom generation will lead to new opportunities for chiropractors because older adults are more likely than younger people to have neuromusculoskeletal and joint problems. Members of the aging population will likely continue to seek treatment for these conditions as they lead longer, more active lives. Demand for chiropractic treatment is related to the ability of patients to pay, either directly or through health insurance. Page 4
