Students will learn to manage patients from a wellness perspective to help them achieve their optimal well-being and will incorporate nutrition, movement as in walking and exercise, and other lifestyle adaptations. Students will learn the history, philosophy, principles and theories of chiropractic and relevant chiropractic psychomotor skills integrated with a knowledge of basic science.
