Thanks a billion! I am in chiro school (National) and am so glad I did not go to medical school. I was unsure if I made the right decision because of hearing all the AMA megaphone advice on the web. If you're thinking of a career in chiropractic, definately check this out because it just may be what you want to be or exactly what you don't want. Just know the facts instead of the AMA pep rally. Do your own research and you can't go worng. Also, shadow different phyisicans - such as chiropractors (DC), osteopaths (DO), allopaths (MDs)...just do your homework. Personally, I'm learning everthing I can and then some about typical medical protocols and chiropractic protocols because I believe in holistic care which doesn't only mean cracking backs, it means having diagnostic skills equal to or better than other health disciplines.

I came across this book during a time when I was debating over whether I really wanted to become a medical doctor. This book taught me about what chiropractic truly is, and changed the course of my life forever. Prior to reading this book, I never thought chiropractic was more than a treatment for low back pain and even thought that it can be harmful.

But this book opened my mind and heart to this wonderful profession, that I am so proud to be a part of. A year after first reading this book, I completed my bachelor's degree from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. A few months later, I eagerly began my chiropractic studies at Life University in Atlanta, Georgia.

Since being in clinical practice for over 2 years, chiropractic has been everything I ever dreamed of and read about in this book.

Thanks Dr. DeRoek for a well-written and inspiring book.

Dr. Deroeck gives a birds eye view of the world of chiropractics from a unique perspective. Although he is a doctor, you get the feeling that he himself had been a patient at one time. A knowledgeable man that was able to help me make an important decision concerning chiropractics.

This was an excellent explanation of what Chiropractic is about. It explains things in an easy to understand way for the general public yet is very useful for a chiropractor/chiropractic student to use to explain things in conversations or presentations. After going through graduate school you forget how to speak english, this should help.
