Chiropractor + Chiropractic school questions?


I have a few question concerning chiropractors and chiropractic schools. First of all, what is a good major to take when planning to go to chiropractor school? Biology, Chemistry, Biochemisty? Do you have to get a Bachelor's degree in order to be admitted in to chiropractor school? If not, does it help when applying? I thought it went like this: 3-4 years of undergraduate school, 4 years of chiropractic school and one year of internship. Is that correct? If you are a chiropractor, could you say what you love and dislike about the job and the kind of person you should be if you want to become a chiropractor? Also, are chiropractors considered as physicians? thanks!

P.S. - Do you have to take math classes while an undergrad and in chiropractic school?

Yes, you need a "pre-med" type degree. You should take Anatomy & Physiology, Biology, at least one Chemistry but since you don't do medicine a lot of biochem isn't necessary. Also take kinesiology and related classes if you have them. Enough math to do the physics (that class as well).

Chiropractors usually do most of their clinical work in the four years, but some do an intern year to learn advanced techniques.

Chiros are considered primary physicians by workers' comp and no-fault insurance in most states. In New York and some other states, they are covered by regular insurance--although many states and unions have riders for chiro care.

Chiros are considered inferior by medical doctors, but there is definitely a place for them and new research shows they can help people a lot.
