Chiropractic Today

Chiropractic is among a group of Canadian healthcare professions that are well positioned to not only diagnose and treat illness but also to engage people in communities around the world in active preventative healthcare.

Looking forward to 2022, the chiropractic profession is projected for stable and steady growth across Canada according to Stats Canada, with a balance of supply and demand for competent, evidence-based chiropractors.

While most chiropractors are in private practice, increasing numbers of interdisciplinary healthcare practices have led to new opportunities for chiropractors to collaborate in providing integrated care in partnership with other regulated healthcare professionals. There are also a small number of chiropractors working in research hospitals and other institutions. Chiropractors hold leadership positions in organizations and government agencies that shape the future of healthcare in Canada.

CMCC is proud to count over 7,000 alumni serving in these diverse roles in 45 countries worldwide. Chiropractic is a hands-on healthcare profession and one that specializes in patient-centered spinal and musculoskeletal care. If you see yourself in that same future, CMCC is the place to be.
