“There are unique opportunities opening up to chiropractors that weren’t there even a few years ago. In 2015, the NBCE Job Analysis showed that only 7% of chiropractors were working in interdisciplinary environments. Now that number is 15.2%. This is another opportunity to work with people who haven’t had access to care in the past, resulting in more awareness of the benefits of chiropractic,” says Dr. Hinkeldey.
