A chiropractic degree involves extensive training in anatomy, physiology and biomechanics, with particular emphasis on the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. Chiropractors train full-time for five years where we learn medical diagnosis, radiography and radiology (apart from chiropractic skills). This means that we can accurately diagnose physical problems. We are primary care practitioners specialising in nerve, muscle and joint problems, but will refer you to another healthcare professional if necessary.
