“Feeling a Bit out of Tune?”

You can't sleep, your energy levels are low and you're finding it harder to make it through your
day. The specialists insist there's nothing wrong, but you innately feel like something's out of
tune. Maybe it's time to call Dr. Sean.

D.D. Palmer, the Father of Chiropractic, recognized that repetitive physical, chemical and emotional
stress can alter the normal 'tone' within a person's Nerve System (a.k.a. Subluxation). This persistent
irritation can lead to poor physical, mental and emotional performance. The solution? Restore normal
tone to the Nerve System with specific, Chiropractic adjustments and better health will naturally follow!
Health is the 'music' that plays when all your cells, tissues and organs vibrate perfectly in unison –
orchestrated by a finely tuned Nerve System. If you're feeling sluggish, weak and tired, a trip to Milam Chiropractic may just be the thing YOU need to get back in key.

Are Chiropractors “Real Doctors?”

Are Chiropractors “Real Doctors?”

            Both chiropractic and medical schools require certain course work for admission. These vary from school to school. Very few schools of either type require a bachelor’s degree, although some specify that they prefer the applicant have such a degree.

            Chiropractic colleges do not require the MCAT, some medical schools do. Contrary to common belief, some medical schools (including high profile institutions) require the bare minimum of undergraduate requirements.

            The Parker College study reported that on average, Chiropractic College involves 372 more classroom hours than medical school. Chiropractic students also have more hours of training in anatomy, physiology, diagnosis and orthopedics (the musculoskeletal system.)

Degree Requirements

            These basic educational requirements for graduates of both chiropractic and medical schools show that although each has its own specialties, the hours of classroom instruction are about the same. (The class hours for basic science comparisons were compiled and averaged following a review of curricula of 18 chiropractic colleges and 22 medical schools.)
