JOB DESCRIPTION: A chiropractic physician examines patients to determine the nature and extent of disorders, using X-ray machines, electrocardiographs, otoscopes, protoscopes, or other instruments. A chiropractic physician treats patients using a holistic view that encourages the use of natural, non-drug and non-surgical health treatments. Depending on the diagnosis, a chiropractor often treats patients through manual manipulation; exercise; light and heat therapy; and the use of vitamins/minerals and food supplements.
