Los Angeles College of
Chiropractic Educational
Curriculum
I have worked in cooperation with
several Medical Physician's over the
years.
When I asked if they had referred
to other Chiropractors the overwhelming response was
no.
Upon asking why not, they mentioned they did not
know what type of education or
trainingthat a Chiropractor
receives.
After educating them, they were
surprised of the educational standards that one must
go thru to receive their Doctor of Chiropractic
(D.C.)
Several Medical Physician's recommended that I
educate additional Medical Physicians so they
would have an understanding of the education that we
receive.
Please inform your Medical Physician
and share the information below with
him.
