What You'll Do: As a chiropractor, you'll treat bone-related and muscle-related injuries. Patients will usually come into your office with issues related to the back, neck, and feet, but pain and abnormality experienced with any part of the body will fall within your realm of expertise. You'll review patients' medical histories, check vital signs, listen to patients' concerns, perform various diagnostic tests including physical examinations and x-rays to identify the problem and an appropriate treatment.

Most chiropractic treatments are physical therapies that require you to use your hands to manipulate certain parts of the body. Massage and stretching are some of the most common treatments provided.

Most chiropractors are self-employed and work alone or as part of a group practice, but you could be employed in a hospital or doctor's office. You will likely work full-time and determine your own hours if you head a practice.

Education and Training: Chiropractic study involves four years of post-graduate education in a certified chiropractic program. Most of these programs require you to take 90 credits or three years of undergraduate study before you can be admitted. Chiropractic prerequisites primarily fall within the natural sciences category, and they usually include courses in: biology, chemistry, physics, human anatomy, physiology, and their associated labs. Many individuals receive a bachelor's degree prior to applying to a chiropractic program.

The first two years of the program are spent attending lectures and going in-depth into relevant subjects, while the latter will be spent gaining clinical experience under the supervision of a licensed professional. Spinal treatment is the focal point of the program, but you can specialize in a specific areas such as chiropractic radiology or geriatrics after completing a year or more of residency.

In addition to successfully completing a chiropractic program, you will need to get licensed in the state you plan on practicing in. Licensure is usually received after passing a written and practical test, but there may be other requirements depending on the state.

The Future: The chiropractic profession is expected to grow at about 28% through 2020.

The Pay: Annual salaries for Chiropractors in the U.S. range from $32,200 to $143,600, with the average median annual wage hitting $66,100 in 2012 as per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
