Chiropractor Duties and Responsibilities
The type of organization chiropractors work for greatly determines the duties and responsibilities they can expect to undertake. Based on job listings we analyzed, a chiropractor’s duties typically involve:
Assess Medical Conditions Before performing a physical assessment, chiropractors talk with the patient to review their medical history and any concerns they have. This involves taking detailed notes about any previous injuries and surgeries as well as the patient’s general health and lifestyle.
Conduct Tests A chiropractor assesses a patient’s posture and reflexes through a number of tests, looking for musculoskeletal conditions or misalignment and taking X-rays to determine where the issue is that might be causing the patient’s symptoms.
Provide Therapy The chiropractor’s main task is providing musculoskeletal therapy. This includes adjusting the spinal column and other joints to alleviate pain, using massage therapy, or giving additional treatments, such as applying hot or cold presses to painful joints.
Counsel Patients Sometimes a patient’s problems stem from their diet or lifestyle, so a chiropractor advises them on ways that they can utilize exercise, nutrition, and sleep habits to help improve their symptoms. Where necessary, the patient may need to be referred to other healthcare professionals.
Write Notes Once the appointment is over, chiropractors write up notes from the session with any suggestions made, particularly if the patient is coming in for regular treatment, as these notes inform future sessions. If the patient has been referred, chiropractors carry out the necessary administrative tasks to put this in place.
Chiropractor Skills and Qualifications
Chiropractors need to be great communicators with strong time management, organizational, and decision-making skills in order to determine the best course of treatment. Employers require staff to have a doctor of chiropractic degree, along with the following abilities:
- Interpersonal skills – working as a chiropractor involves speaking with colleagues and patients every day, and strong communication and listening skills ensure important information doesn’t get missed and that patients are put at ease during appointments
- Dexterity – chiropractors use their hands to perform manual adjustments and massage therapies to the spine and other joints, so strong coordination skills are important to do these procedures safely and effectively
- Observational skills – being detail-oriented and observant helps spot misalignments or small details that could be contributing to a patient’s symptoms
- Critical thinking abilities – this role requires approaching problems or situations logically and thinking critically to solve issues and diagnose patients effectively. Strong critical thinking skills help chiropractors examine factors that might be contributing to symptoms that may otherwise be overlooked
- Empathy – chiropractors need to be able to display sensitivity and empathy when dealing with patients who are in pain and experiencing discomfort
Chiropractor Education and Training
Chiropractors need to have a postgraduate doctor of chiropractic (DC) degree, which typically takes four years to complete and at minimum of three years of undergraduate education for admission. They also need a state license to work with patients. Specific license requirements vary by state, but all require the completion of an accredited DC program and successful completion of all four parts of the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners exam.
Chiropractor Salary and Outlook
Chiropractors earn a median annual salary of $67,000. The lowest 10 percent earn around $32,000, while the highest paid earn over $141,000 a year. Earnings can vary depending on the level of experience and number of years in practice a chiropractor has, as well as their location. Chiropractors tend to earn more as they build up a solid client base and become either an owner of or partner in a practice. The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that this sector will grow by 12 percent through 2026.
