1895 Chiropractic

While there have been hundreds of chiropractic schools opened and closed during the 1900’s, there are currently only 17 in the USA that are accredited for chiropractic licensure.

The seventeen US chiropractic schools include Palmer Chiropractic college, which was the first chiropractic school to open (in the early 1900’s) as well as Palmer Chiropractic College Florid, one of the newest chiropractic colleges in the nation.

There are two chiropractic schools in Canada and several others throughout the world. South Africa now has two chiropractic schools. A school of chiropractic recently opened in Mexico City, Mexico and there are schools located in New Zealand, the UK, Japan, Australia, and a few other countries.

Chiropractic has been taught in the USA longer than in any other country with Palmer being the first school to open (Davenport, Iowa circa de 1900).

There are 4 chiropractic schools in the state of California, more than exist in any other state. It comes as no surprise that there are more California chiropractors practicing chiropractic than there are in any other state in the USA.

Not sure which state has the 2nd largest popular of chiropractors but I would expect it is either New York, Florida, or Michigan. I’ll get some details and post them to these pages when I have more info.
