Doctor of Chiropractic

I’m honored to welcome you to the Doctor of Chiropractic Program at Southern California University of Health Sciences, where integrative and whole person health forms a cornerstone of our educational philosophy. Our institution has been at the forefront of chiropractic education for over a century, standing as a model of academic and hands-on clinical excellence. Our curriculum integrates rigorous scientific coursework in anatomy, neurology, and biomechanics with comprehensive training in adjustment techniques, physical rehabilitation, diagnostic imaging, clinical nutrition, and patient-centered care approaches all designed to help improve the lives of the patients we serve.

At SCU, we prepare the next generation of chiropractic physicians as integral members of collaborative healthcare teams. Our students benefit from educational technology, laboratories, diverse clinical rotations across healthcare settings, and mentorship from faculty who are leaders in chiropractic education, research, and practice. Grounded by SCU’s values of integrative health, evidence-based practice, health equity, and inclusivity, our program cultivates a learning environment where students become more than skilled providers but caring and principled healthcare leaders. Together, we are advancing the chiropractic profession and expanding access to quality spine and neuromusculoskeletal care for communities.

I invite you to reach out and contact us to learn more about SCU’s Doctor of Chiropractic program.
