Can i major in health sciences and become a chiropractor?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

im sure going through health sciences will show you that the chiropractic field is nothing more than a fancy massage and does nothing for a persons actual health.

the key "methodology" behind chiropractic is the idea that the alignment of the spine effects your health, according to science health is determined by genetics, nutrition, injury, and infection, neither of which can be solved by tweaking the position of a persons spine.

Being a chiropractor means disregarding health sciences. There are three main principles in chiropractic, which modern health science tell us are wrong:

1) All diseases are caused by subxluxations of the spine.
- In reality chiropractic subluxations don't exist.

2) These subluxations interfere with nerve function.
- Impaired nerve function has not been demonstrated.

3) Correcting these subluxations allows innate (a vitalistic force) to heal the body.
- No such vitalistic force has ever been detected.

So if you learn and understand health science, you really don't want to go to chiropractor school.

I am a retired Chiropractor. As usual, you received all of the standard 'quackery' nonsense about Chiropractic medicine. Ignore it.

You will need a bachelor's degree to matriculate (enroll) in a top Chiropractic College. You will also need to complete with good grades a variety of basic science courses (the requirements are essentially the same as for medical school): biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, physics, psychology, English (not a basic science but vital education for any professional), etc.

You should contact the admissions office of any Chiropractic College you are interested in attending to confirm the exact requirements.

For the "Chiropractic quack naysayers", my Alma mater, the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic, is fully accredited by the SAME accrediting agency that accredits Stanford, UCLA, and UC Berkeley. But, hey, don't let the facts ever affect your 'thinking'.

Best wishes and good luck with your studies and career.

Do well in the maths and the sciences - that will never do you wrong.
Study hard. Can't go wrong that way.

There are all kinds of careers in medicine, and no matter what you end up going into, that will be a good foundation.

You need a BSc to be accepted into Chiropractic College. So health sciences and pre-med courses are a good start.

Why would you want to go and waste your life and time with quackery like that? If you want to go into medicine do it properly.
