The letters DC mean that this doctor is a doctor of chiropractic, or chiropractor. These letters differentiate him/her from a doctor of medicine (MD) or doctor of dentistry â¦(DDS) or doctor of osteopathy (DO), or doctor of podiatry (DPM), or doctor of phiosophy (PhD), etc.
DC programs earn their accreditation from the Council of Chiropractic Education, and they typically require four years of study. Some require as many as five academic years, according to the American Chiropractic Association, and the total time spent on class, lab and clinical work must equal at least 4,200 hours. At the University of Western States, for example, the DC degree is designed to be completed in four years of full-time study.
