A chiropractic assistant or CA is a generic term for a person employed by a chiropractor to assist in chiropractic procedures and in running the office. Often a CA will be employed to work the front desk and assist in scheduling and greeting patients. In addition the CA may assist with submitting claims to third party payers. Some CAs are also trained to assist in setting up physical therapy modalities such as therapeutic ultrasound or interferential stimulation. Most states do not require any official training, education, or certification to become a CA. Training usually comes in the form of on-the-job training by your chiropractic employer. Most CAs make between $7-$12/hr.
