List of chiropractic credentials

There are a number of degrees and credentials that are awarded to chiropractors, depending on the culture and regulations of different jurisdictions.

In the United States, where chiropractic education and practice is regulated, the degree of Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) is awarded to students who have completed a professional course in chiropractic.

In some countries, the practice of chiropractic is not regulated. Some chiropractors do not have degrees, including the founder of chiropractic, D. D. Palmer.

Some chiropractic schools offer post-professional degrees in chiropractic specialisms, such as veterinary and rehabilitative chiropractic.

In the United States, it is possible to receive board certification in a chiropractic specialism. Board certified chiropractics receive a diploma in the specialism and are known as a diplomate or fellow.

These credentials are generally recognized only by the bodies which grant them.
