Chiropractic is a health profession established in more than 30 countries around the world and represented by more than 30 chiropractic schools. Chiropractors have many career options and may choose to practice in a private or group setting, or seek employment in a variety of private, educational, and (in some countries) governmental roles. Many chiropractors pursue specialties within the profession, such as orthopedics, neurology, nutrition, diagnostic imaging, and sports chiropractic. Effective, safe, drug-free and non-invasive chiropractic care is suitable for people of all ages. Because chiropractic care has been shown to improve recovery from sports injuries and improve athletic performance, many professional, collegiate and amateur sports teams use chiropractic services. Some teams employ chiropractors directly, while others refer their injured athletes to private sports chiropractors. IMU has brought together a group of esteemed and clinically experienced chiropractors from around the world to deliver one of the best chiropractic educational experiences. In addition to years of clinical practice, these chiropractors have been responsible for research, writing articles for publication in peer-reviewed journals, presenting at multidisciplinary conferences, and writing textbooks. Members of the Faculty of Basic Sciences of IMU have been training doctors, dentists and pharmacists for more than 15 years and have always maintained a high level of quality. Chiropractic students are guided through the program through a combination of lectures, discussions, labs, self-directed and simulated clinical settings. Chiropractic is a practical profession.
Thus, each semester, students learn to perceive the structures of the human body through touch, especially the spine (including the neck, middle and lower back, and pelvis). As the student progresses through the program, hands-on activities increasingly include real-world analyses and treatment procedures found in chiropractic clinical practice. In the final phase of training, students care for real patients throughout their treatment in a supervised chiropractic clinic. This includes formulating a diagnosis and treatment plan; Order and interpret radiology, electrodiagnostic and laboratory tests, if necessary; where appropriate, referrals to other members of the health team; and all phases of spinal adjustment and concomitant treatment. Quality and professionalism are the hallmarks of the IMU Healthcare Chiropractic Center; Patients can rest assured that their complaints will be well managed from the point of entry until completion of individualized chiropractic management modules. The majority of chiropractors are in private practice, overseeing all aspects of patient care and practice management. According to a recent article in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics*, the average chiropractor in the study managed about 101 patient visits during 30 hours of patient contact during a typical work week.
