Each school has it pros and cons, it is best to look into each school and choose one that is best for you.

One great school is the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC, in Toronto, Canada) as it is highly science/evidence based and takes much of the dogma out of the education process. This, of course, represents one extreme approach. For someone who prefers to take a more dogmatic approach to this profession (the opposite extreme to CMCC) there are schools like Sherman College of straight chiropractors. Somewhere in the middle lies plenty of other great schools.

The point is that any answer to your question is going to include the bias of the person answering and you are better-off looking into many schools and deciding for yourself.

For a list of all countries that offer chiropractic education, and a list of all schools in each of those countries, see the related link below: World Federation of Chiropractic - List of Chiropractic Schools.

Doctors of chiropractic would certainly be willing and qualified to examine someone with scoliosis, and there are indeed strategies that can be employed to potentially slow or halt the progression of idiopathic scoliosis. A chiropractor will be able to determine how severe the scoliosis is, how often it needs to be monitored, at what stage a surgical referral is required, and what kinds of options exist for treatment. In some cases, a chiropractor may even be able to help reverse a scoliosis without surgery. For example, if you have a functional scoliosis (caused by unequal leg lengths, unilateral muscle trauma, unilateral hip problem, etc.), then if you are not too old (younger than 55) and the curve is not too severe (less than 30 degrees), a chiropractor will likely be able to help reduce or eliminate the scoliosis. Treatments would include one or more of: orthotics, spinal manipulation, stretching, muscle strengthening, etc.

Cerebrospinal Fluid or CSF is produced by the ventricles in your brain.It protects and flows through your brain and the spinal cord. It acts as a cushion for them.

One of the great things about being a chiropractor (or any kind of doctor really), is that you can practice wherever you want. My preference is to practice in the city where all of my family is. For some, the best city would be one with a low crime rate, or a city that has a University, or one where there are no other chiropractors. As such, there is no right answer. The best city to work in would be dependent on what your criteria for an ideal working environment are.

I was searching for the same question to be answered...the answer I found is...NYS will only cover the deductible that Medicare does not pay. In other words, I am assuming, unless you are also on Medicare, Medicaid does not pay for chiropractic care. It seems that it is just about the only state that does not.

None that I know of. For a complete list of all countries that offer chiropractic programs, and a list of schools in each country, see related links below (World Federation of Chiropractic List of Schools).

All chiropractic schools worldwide must now conform to the World Health Organization standards for training of doctors of chiropractic (eg: 4200 additional hours of training after a 4 year undergraduate program). There are about 80 different counries where there is law/legislation in place that accept chiropractic as a licensed form of health care.

Between the bones of the spine there are donut shaped shock absormers called disks. A slipped disk is when one ofthrede shockabsorbers slips out of place, causing severe and/or debilitating painn as a result.

There are some disadvantages to chiropractic treatment:

1) it often is not as quick of a fix as some other options, sometimes 10-15 adjustments may be required to resolve a problem completely

2) it cannot fix everything

3) due to the adjustments during the treatment there is a chance to break the bones.

On the other hand, the side effects that are possible from other forms of musculoskeletal treatment are far worse and much more common (example: NSAIDS like aspirin can cause gastrointestinal bleeding).

Yes, Michigan Medicaid covers Chiropractic care. It covers xrays too. $1 per visit. If you have Medicare too, you can see a chiropractor 24 times per year. 12 times per year I believe for Medicaid only.

Based on the hospital, a chiropractor may or may not practice in the UK.

More often than not, when a bone is broken in Pulaski County, Ill., it's Dewey Dixon, DC, who gets the call for help. Dr. Dixon, 49, grew up here, and he's been practicing in this rural part of the state his entire career. Folks know him and trust him.

Chiropractic is a triune of science, philosophy and art:

The science revolves around the biomechanics of the human nervous system, muscular system and skeletal system. Also, how these systems interact and how dysfuntion in any of these systems can cause disease.

The philosophy is based on the belief that the body has a natural (or innate) ability to heal itself. It is also based on the value of a natural and conservative approach to healing, where drugs and surgery are considered a last resort.

The art is the application of the science and philosophy in providing the best possible care to each individual patient.

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.  

A chiropractor is an alternative medicine doctor who helps people align their spine. You can help heal a lot of nerve type issues by relieving pressure on the nerves and creating blood flow. You can also make decent money, the average chiropractor makes 50,000 a year.

Yes. Chiropractic physicians (also known as chiropractors) are not medical practitioners but undergo a similar education process to obtain a license in the field of chiropractic care. In fact, educational requirements for chiropractors are the most stringent of any health care profession. To learn more information, call Dr. Wasserman at 954-755-1980

It will depend on the jurisdiction. A debt can be set at anything from a couple of years to 15 years. And the format of the agreement is important as well. You'll have to check what applies for your location.
