Chiropractic Orthopedists are doctors of chiropractic who
have completed extensive post-doctoral or graduate level education in
non-surgical orthopedics. Chiropractic Orthopedists must pass a written and
clinical specialty examination to become board certified. Upon successful
completion, diplomatic status is granted by the American Board of Chiropractic
Orthopedists (DABCO).
Chiropractic Orthopedics are specialists who understand
normal body functions and diseases related to:
- bones,
joints, capsules, discs, muscles, ligaments and tendons
- complete
neurological components, organ systems and contiguous tissues of the above
They perfect skills relative to preserving good health
and, when a person is unwell, use skills of investigation, historical review,
physical detection, correlative diagnosis development and complete management to
treat disorders within the bounds of their practice.
