A career in chiropractic is a rewarding one, so if you’re thinking about it, you’re already on the right track.

There is a good chance you already know chiropractic is the career for you, but you might be wondering what it takes to become one. Here are five steps that will prepare you to become a licensed chiropractor.

1. Complete your undergraduate degree

Chiropractic schools are a good place to start if you’re interested in becoming a chiropractor. Early on, it is also important to maintain good grades. The majority of colleges and universities require courses in chemistry, biology and physics.

2.  Attend a Chiropractic Institute

Following your undergraduate studies, you’ll be ready to gain a Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree from an accredited chiropractic school. It’s a three year program. Chiropractors earn an an above average salary. By 2026, demand for chiropractors is expected to grow by 12%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Three-plus years of schooling may seem overwhelming, but it is worth it.

3. Obtain your Chiropractic License

Doctor of Chiropractic degrees and licenses are required if you want to become a chiropractor. A certification test is required for this license.

4. Choose a Specialization

Chiropractic specialists can choose from a number of specialties. A few examples include pediatrics, sports, and geriatrics. Your specialty should be an area of passion for you. You and your patients will benefit by creating a win-win situation.

5. Continue Gaining Knowledge

Continuing education is still important, even after you have become a licensed chiropractor. The end of your schooling does not mean you have to stop learning! In order to provide the best possible care to your patients, you should attend workshops and webinars as you establish your practice. Continuing education may also be required in some states as a means of maintaining your license.
