What is a Doctor of Chiropractic?

The proper title for a Doctor of Chiropractic is "Doctor" as they are considered physicians under Medicare and in the overwhelming majority of states. The professional credentials abbreviation "D.C." means Doctor of Chiropractic. The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) also advocates in its Policies on Public Health that DCs may be referred to as (Chiropractic) physicians as well.
