Given a few minutes, the majority of U.S. chiropractors can probably name most, if not all of the 18 chiropractic colleges in the United States.

We Are Primary Care Doctors Dear Editor: They say to write what you know. I know this: This isn't working. There was a time when chiropractors could expect to make a decent living treating their patients. We do, after all, get people better.
