Chiropractic school consists of 4 years of training. It is extremely demanding and rigorous. The first two years of chiropractic school are nearly identical to the first two years of medical school. After these first two years, instead of going into pharmaceuticals or surgery, chiropractic students are trained to treat various conditions, with spinal adjustments and manipulation.
