What is the Meaning of Life?
“What do you want to do with your life? I wanna rock!” (Twisted Sisters, 1984) I decided that I wanted to become a chiropractor because my mom helps me when my muscles are sore from playing sports but also because how massages work to heal and working with muscles and bones is interesting to me. I believe that working with patients and helping them to relieve their bone and muscle pain would be a fun thing to do. Today, I am going to tell you all about chiropractors and massage therapists. Today you’ll learn the statistics of both chiropractors and massage therapists alike (even if you don’t want to), also how to become one and what they do, and finally all about chiropractors and massage therapists.
Now, to start off I will be telling you all about the statistics of a chiropractor. The Occupational Outlook Handbook states that the median salary of a chiropractor is $67,520 per year. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $32,380, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $141,030. (OOH) I would definitely hope to be in the top 10% eventually because I would be making bank, and who doesn’t love money? (If you don’t love money you’re probably homeless anyways.) Next, I will be telling you the educational requirements that are required to be a chiropractor. The entry-level education required that you need is either a doctoral or a professional degree. According to Study Personally, this would cost anybody a lot of money, but if you love what this job does and you work hard, it’s going to be a lot easier to pay all of this debt back. You need to have a lot of education to be a chiropractor because the critical work that is required needs complete learning and understanding of the body and this requires you to be extremely thorough with uncompromising testing results. You don’t need any on-the-job training or work experience in a related occupation. (Thank god!) This means that anybody can do it, including yourself! Isn’t that awesome? “There are about 47,400 chiropractor jobs currently, and the job outlook is expected to grow 10% through 2016-2026 and create 5,000 more jobs.” (OOH)( (This is a really good thing for me, since we will need more chiropractors it is likely
Chiropractic is an invalid and harmful therapy, which is created on the basis of pseudoscientific ideas. Chiropractors use manual therapy, especially manipulation of the spine, other joints, and soft tissues to treat diseases and proclaim a cure-all and vaccination opposition. Only one of therapy (chiropractic) was used in the medicine and would not allow any vaccine inoculation to be made available to people, which is chiropractic theory. Chiropractic followers set up own theory, method and system and peddle this treatment. As modern humans we enjoy a wide range of medical treatment, and they provide a healthier life. However, advances in modern medicine as with the further research traditional medicines like chiropractic it met with incredulity. For decades the chiropractic has denied modern medicine to treat patients. Although chiropractic followers profess that it can cure all diseases by removal of the subluxation and replace vaccinations, more and more evidences support that chiropractic is an unscientific and dangerous therapy. What people must understand is that tradition and history are no excuse for therapeutic effect but should be more focused on scientific method that is widely proved to be effective and safe in the medicine.
Although, the most common form of therapy involves manual therapy, especially the manipulation of joints, tissues and the spine. I was shocked to find that every chiropractor has their own treatment and their own diagnosis for every patients. For example, for some chiropractors, this specific focus can be subluxation, while for others it can be therapy, exercise or even counseling. Although the most traditional view of chiropractic hold that a vertebral subluxation or a spinal joint dysfunction interferes with the body’s innate system. Nonetheless, a number of chiropractors want to separate themselves from this traditional concept to venture to other forms of chiropractic. Thus, one thing I learn about this class is that there is not a correct way to practice chiropractic and that everyone their own form of practicing their
‘Chiropractic (Greek kheir, hand, and praktikos, practitioner) is defined as the science of treating human ailments by adjustment of the spine’ Bradbury, P. (1957). It is grounded in the principle that the
According to the Occupational outlook Handbook, Chiropractors have to have a Dr. Of Chiropractic degree, which requires at least four years of schooling. A class of each of arts, sciences, physics, chemistry and biology. Not only does it require education, but it also requires strength and strategy. It requires strength to pop joints in and out of place. Hoosier Health Plus states “There is no bone snapping or warrior-style pulling heads off spinal columns... Adjustments, unlike “knuckle cracking” or having your friend stomp on you while you lay on the carpet, are applied specifically to improve the motion of your joints and limit the small dysfunctions that over time can lead to arthritis. Most people after an adjustment describe the feeling as being “lighter”, having greater ease in moving the body, and being able to stand up taller.” People pop and crack at their knuckles, backs, hips and many other parts of their body’s all day. When they go to the chiropractor, they then get the “lighter” feeling like Hoosier explained. This occurs because chiropractors have certain ways to adjust your body without causing it to eventually turn into
I realize that establishing my career in chiropractic will take time, but if I am happy with myself and my profession I will be successful by my standards.

Right out of college, Chris Fiel wanted to pursue a domain that has never been pursued, and he did exactly that when he opened Team Chiropractic in Ames, Iowa. His clinic’s story is one of America’s great American dream stories. Dr. Fiel gained a love for science and medicine after attending Iowa State University for a bachelor's degree, and then attended Palmer School of Chiropractic Medicine. Out of college, he then worked for the Baltimore Ravens, where he learned about the importance of the balance between physical therapy, orthopedics, and chiropractic medicine. With these experiences, he opened a clinic unlike any other: Team Chiro Rehabilitation.
After I complete that, I will go to one of the eighteen chiropractic colleges in the nation and earn a Doctor of Chiropractic degree. Overall, to become a chiropractor you need at least seven years of college. Some people think that chiropractic work is not useful but, it is very useful in many ways. Some of these ways are that they make people feel better, they make adjustments to make the body more mobile, and they help athletes recover faster. This is my career path plan and how I will make it over speed bumps when people say this isn’t a good career for

According to Sun Tzu, the supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting. Analogously, the supreme art of healthcare is to subdue the pathology without treating. Chiropractors being involved in public health is the best way to go about doing so, in my humble
According to spine-health.com, the definition of a chiropractor is “a health professional focused on the diagnosis and treatment neuromuscular disorders, with an emphasis on treatment though manual adjustment and/or manipulation of the spine (Yeomans).” With this being said, it is evident that becoming a chiropractor is not a simple task. A chiropractor is a doctor, not a physician “who can prescribe over the table drugs” but a doctor of the spine. There are only a hand full of schools in continental North America in which one can attend to obtain a chiropractic doctorate. Furthermore, there are only 17 schools in American and a mere two in Canada. Since there is not a large demographic of people who are chasing a chiropractic doctorate and only a few schools to choose from, tuition is often times too expensive for the majority of people. However, those that can afford the schooling may be shocked to find that it is structured in trimesters rather than semesters. Each trimester is around 12 to 13 weeks long and depending on the school you attend, either 10 or 12
I think that chiropractic care will not be 100% recession proof. This is due to the difference in the chiropractic and current allopathic paradigm. There isn't a focus on the preventive or wellness based model of healthcare. The general public does not view chiropractic care(wellness care in general) as a necessity and basis human right people should utilized. For example, I experience a heart attack and I would immediately go to the hospital because I know that the sooner I get better chance I have to survive. That is an absolute demand that needs to be addressed or else I am dead. No matter the state of the economy if the condition is serious enough people will go or be taken to the hospital. This is acute care-based system under
Many people visit a chiropractor when they have pain in their back or neck, or have been referred by their doctor for help after a sports injury or automobile accident. However, there are many more reasons to see a chiropractor for good, overall health.
