List of chiropractic credentials

Summary

none

There are a number of degrees and credentials that are awarded to chiropractors, depending on the culture and regulations of different jurisdictions.

In the United States, where chiropractic education and practice is regulated, the degree of Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) is awarded to students who have completed a professional course in chiropractic.

In some countries, the practice of chiropractic is not regulated. Some chiropractors do not have degrees, including the founder of chiropractic, D. D. Palmer.
