Why Chiropractors? • I chose this profession because most people never heard of it or might only have a slight idea of this job. • I like that chiropractors don’t turn to medicine, drugs, or surgery as their first way to treat their patients. • Chiropractors have a hands-on method of treatment usually associated with the spine, which is unique compared to most physicians.
