Chiropractic Medicine (Pre)

Align your career while helping others in this hands-on, holistic profession.

Chiropractors treat patients with neuromuscular skeletal health problems involving the nerves, bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles. Chiropractors often give spinal adjustments and perform body manipulations and other clinical interventions to help patients with pain management. If you enjoy science, are detail-oriented, have good manual-dexterity, and have empathy for humankind, this is a worthwhile career with the flexibility to have your own practice or work in an office with other chiropractors.

WNCC is one of only a handful of community colleges nationwide that provides an associate degree in Pre-Chiropractic Medicine. As such, our program has been designed and modeled after similar programs across the country to help you transfer into a school of chiropractic medicine or into a bachelor’s degree program to continue your studies.

Career Opportunities

WNCC’s Pre-Chiropractic Medicine program will give you the foundation you need to continue your education at a four-year institution in Chiropractic Medicine and eventually pursue a Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine degree. As a chiropractor, you will take a holistic approach to health and wellness, with a special focus on the body’s muscular, nervous, and skeletal systems.

A typical day as a chiropractor is communicating with and treating appointment-based and walk-in patients. You will be both on your feet and seated during your scheduled day. You will be moving around patients who are on a table, applying pressure and manipulating the body for proper treatments. Once you are an experienced chiropractor, you can work for chiropractic offices, gyms, hospitals, physicians’ offices, or you can start your own practice. Depending on where you work, days can have set or flexible hours, or you can set your own schedule. You’ll find this to be a rewarding career providing relief for people with chronic and acute pain.
