Your Chiropractor's Education Was Very Thorough and Scientific. Once undergraduate requirements have been met, a rigorous four to five year chiropractic program begins, which is very similar to that of medical school. Course requirements include gross anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology, radiology, biomechanics, spinal and extremity adjusting techniques, along with a variety of other health sensitive subjects. Chiropractic college focuses on the ability to recognize and treat various soft tissue and structural disorders. Many doctors also undergo an externship program to further adapt themselves to actual clinical practice. After graduation, national board exams I-IV must be passed, and depending on the individual state, such as California, a state board exam may be given. Once these tasks have been completed, a license to practice chiropractic will be granted. Each state requires continuing education of your chiropractor and the majority of doctors routinely exceed the mandatory continous education requirements to ensure knowledge of the latest techniques. Dr. Cremata has attended over one hundred post-graduate seminars and holds numerous fellowships and certifications. He is Board-certified as a disability analyst and is a state appointed Qualified Medical Evaluator. |

Emphasis is placed on the core sciences, including organic chemistry, general chemistry, physics, biology, and psychology. 
Chiropractic college focuses on developing the chiropractor's ability to recognize and treat various soft tissue and structural disorders. Doctors of Chiropractic are also trained in identifying disorders that are beyond their scope of practice and in recognizing when various outside medical referrals are needed. During the four to five year program, doctors complete a number of national board exams required for licensure. Several hundred hours of internship are undergone under the professional supervision of a Doctor of Chiropractic.
