I want to practice chiropractic, I want to know what level of degree you need in order to practice, as in start a clinic.
since no one has actually answered your question, i will. to practice chiropractic you need to become a Doctor of Chiropractic. to do this you need to have some prerequisite classes to get into a chiropractic school–which can be done in undergrad in 2-4 years. after that, you go to chiropractice school for about 3-4 years to become a Doctor of Chiropractic.

I would get a bachelor’s degree in a science related field. Then I would look at D.O. school. It is a VERY difficult time to be a chiro right now. I know, I am one. It may get better in the future, but you will be taking on an awful lot of debt for something in flux right now

I work in a chiropractic office right now. and what Dr. dan said is not true. If you have the proper skills and know how to promote your buisness then you’ll do good at owning a chiro buisness.
I work in a chiropractic clinic, Harris Chiropractic clinic in clarksville Tn. I am their daughter. and we have a great practice. I know chiropractors that see 100+patients a day in smaller cities than clarksville. Visit our sight and dont belieive the hub. Chiropractic is a great buisness to be in ESPECIALLY NOW. It just matters whether you have a passion for it, or if you actually beleive in what your doing. If you dont then your more probable to fail.
LIFE is a good chiro college right now. Just make sure to learn how to adjust and it takes roughly 4yrs. You need to be a D.C.
contact a local chiropractor with your questions if you really are interested. and check out our website.
