Study to be a Chiropractor at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic

"As a Chiropractor I love that I am a contributor to people's wellness. The natural approach to healthcare is the wave of the future and it's extremely satisfying to be part of it"

Chiropractic is one of the largest health care professions in the Western World. The philosophy behind chiropractic is simple and unique. If the spine is functioning properly, the nerve system will function more effectively. This will allow the body to work optimally and heal itself. Essentially, Chiropractic is about helping the body to help itself. THIS IS THE FUTURE OF HEALTHCARE.

Chiropractic is highly flexible. Graduates today have a choice of going into private practice, travelling New Zealand and the world as a locum, working as an associate or undertaking research. Some move into Chiropractic education or health-related professions.

The New Zealand College of Chiropractic is a private training establishment accredited by NZQA. At the heart of the College are the key principles of integrity and excellence. Students are eligible for government funded student loans and allowances. Graduates are eligible to be registered throughout Australasia. This is the only Chiropractic College in New Zealand.
