About the Pre-Chiropractic Medicine Program
Chiropractors are health-care professionals who diagnose and treat patients whose health problems are associated with the body’s muscular, skeletal, or nervous system. They have a holistic approach to health and use only natural, drugless, and non-surgical treatments such as massage to aid the body in the healing process.
A bachelor’s degree is not required for most chiropractic schools; in fact most only call for 90 semester hours for admission. Chiropractors attend four years of chiropractic school. They are not allowed to perform surgery or prescribe drugs.
