I'm currently studying to be a chiropractor, so here's what I think might help.\n\nScience is extremely important in chiropractic education so try to take some basic science courses like biology, chemistry, and physics in high school. If you're really smart and can handle the load, you can take some AP classes to earn college credit for these classes (junior or senior year). I don't know what kind of school you go to (I came for a poor high school and we didn't have a lot of classes to choose from), but if your school offers more advanced biologies (human anatomy, cell biology, etc) try those too.\n\nSince you don't know exactly which career you'd like to choose, I'd suggest talking with a chiropractor/herbalist/massage therapist near you. I'm sure they wouldn't mind telling you the ups and downs of the business, the best colleges to attend, what to expect from the job, why they personally chose that career, etc etc. You might learn something you hadn't expected! Actually working in their office might be the best way to learn, but I think you might be too young for that just yet. Anyway, best of luck to you!!

In order to be accepted into any chiropractic college, students must take the same pre-requisites as any future medical student.  This includes 1 year of math, english, physics, and 2 years of chemistry (all with accompanying lab classes).  Chiropractic students receive a very similar education as medical students, with emphasis on diagnosis of many different medical conditions, lab work (blood or urine analysis), and basic sciences (physiology, pathology, basic anatomy, and neuroanatomy).  In addition, chiropractic students receive over 100 hours in palpation and technique courses, much more thoroughly than any Physical therapist or even MD attempting to 'manipulate' the spine.  Over 100 hours are also dedicated to learning radiology - how to take x-ray and interpret them - again, much more thoroughly than any medical student (those that are not specializing in radiology, of course).  So, yes, chiropractors are real doctors, and can recognize many different medical conditions and refer out appropriately.  Several studies have also shown that chiropractors are superior in dealing with musculoskeletal conditions (ie - neck pain and back pain), as well as other complaints than many MDs may ignore or cannot do anything about.

check the school out, if you want a GOOD school in Des Moines, or Iowa in general...Drake is good, Iowa State (Go 'Clones) and Iowa are good. As for Osteopathic medicine look into Creighton, in Omaha, and they treat minorities really good at Creighton

yes, as long as the Osteopath is trained, licensed & certified.\nI broke my back in 3 places d/t an automobile accident. My chiropractor would not even touch me without x-rays to see what was going on inside.\nYou may want to consider this, too; taking some x-rays. Just a safety precaution.

chiropractic:\nit means system of healing: a medical system based on the theory that disease and disorders are caused by a misalignment of the bones, especially in the spine, that obstructs proper nerve functions

Chiropractors are doctors in a sense that they have earned a DC (Doctor of Chiropractic).  But they are prohibited by law to prescribe medicines other then natural herbs and things like that.  They DO NOT have to take the MCAT, they DO NOT have to go through residencies.  There are 2 types of fully licensed doctors in the U.S. which are MD (Doctor of Allopathic medicine) and DO (Docotor of Osteopathic Medicine).  A Chiropractor is limited in what they can and can not do.  For example, they are prohibited to practice in a hospital, they can not perform surgery or treat mental disorders.  But the choice of whether a DC is a legitimate doctor will be up to the patient, someone with a PhD. can call themselves a docotor also.\n\n\nIn closing, my opinion DO, MD or DC, they all must work together to achieve the one central goal which is to help imporve one's quality of life.  Only then will the patient have the best chance to be free of sickness.  But I prefer to go to a MD or DO.

hmm, well, the only place i know is in Dearborn Heights. it's near Fairlane Towne Center. It's beside the park. it's an indoor skating rink, and if you go there, you'll probably be able to get either classes or info on where you can get them.

Definitely go to a chiropractor.  I had a problem with at least once a month for some unknown reason I would pull a muscle in my neck.. Since I started going to a Chiro I haven't done it since.

YES and no - depending on the state.  They are not an MD, but like any professional medical program (psychologists, pharmacists, etc.) must attend a school specific to their field to earn their doctorate.  The Board of Chiropractic Examiners regulates the practice of chiropractic\nand grants licenses to Chiropractors who meet educational requirements and\npass the state board examination.  The board also requires practitioners to\ncomplete annual postgraduate study for license renewal.  Currently, the \nState of California requires that candidates complete at least two years of\npre-chiropractic education plus 4,400 hours of course work in a recognized\nchiropractic school or have a valid license from another state.\n Chiropractors/Doctors of Chiropractic take patient histories, conduct\nphysical examinations, diagnose and give treatments for illness and injury.\nBecause of the emphasis on the spine and its position, most Chiropractors\nuse x-rays to help locate the source of patients' difficulties and also to\nrule out fractures or disease.\n\nChiropractors treat patients primarily by manual adjustments, especially of\nthe spinal column.  They use different therapies including massage, water,\nlight, ultrasound, electric, cold and heat to aid in the healing of the\nmuscles, joints, and nerves.  They may make dietary and nutritional\nrecommendations, advise on exercise and sleeping habits and also may suggest\nand apply the use of supports such as straps, tapes, bandages, and braces if\ndeemed necessary.\n\nSome Chiropractors specialize in athletic injuries, neurology, orthopedics,\nnutrition, and internal disorders.  Others specialize in taking and\ninterpreting X-rays and other diagnostic images.\n\nChiropractors do not prescribe drugs or perform surgery.  If they discover\nevidence of disease, injury or condition which is outside their scope of\npractice, they must refer the patient to an appropriate health care\nprovider.
