Yes, a chiropractor is addressed as Dr. _____.

The degree for becoming a chiropractor is called a Doctor of Chiropractic, and is abbreviated D.C.

In addition to physicians and academics with a doctoral degree, it is customary to address as Doctor such health practitioners as veterinarians, optometrists, and chiropractors.

This is especially true in the majority of states in which doctors of chiropractic have been legislated or ruled in court to be "physicians". Under Federal Laws, all doctors who receive medicare benefits are considered physicians. This includes Chiropractors. In 2009, the Joint Commission (JCOAH) which sets policy for all accredited hospitals in the US, revised its position to include Chiropractors as "Physicians".
