Find A Chiropractor In Omaha
Most people are aware that chiropractic care can help with a sore back or neck. But did you know that the chiropractic licensure in the United States and most other parts of the world where chiropractic is licensed requires evidence of knowledge of anatomy, physiology, nutrition, physiotherapy, physical examination and diagnosis?
In the United States, students in accredited chiropractic colleges are tested at various intervals throughout the course. A condition of licensure in all 50 states is the successful passage of a series of national board exams at various stages of chiropractic education. Following graduation, most states have a specific board examination to ensure the competency of each doctor. Continuing education is then required to renew the license.
If you have a health concern beyond back or neck pain, you can feel comfortable to discuss it with your chiropractic physician. The DC you see will be well-equipped to perform the required examination and testing to form a preliminary diagnosis. If a referral to a specialist is indicated, the chiropractor should be able to either refer directly or provide information to help point you in the right direction.
