What is chiropractic science?
The profession of chiropractic care is a regulated health care profession and has been around for over a hundred years. Chiropractic science examines the relationship between the spine and the nervous system and the practices to correct or treat misalignments in the body. Although known primarily for its spinal care, chiropractic science combines art and science to help restore and realign the body using a holistic approach.
Why begin your studies in chiropractic science at Baker University?
The 3+3 chiropractor science program at Baker is a preprofessional program that prepares students to apply to chiropractic school where they will discover a diverse course load in introductory courses in anatomy and spinal anatomy, histology (which examines the microscopic anatomy of biological tissues), cell physiology, and biochemistry.
