Parker College of Chiropractic is a nonprofit, co-educational, private professional institution of higher education. The purpose of the College is the preparation of men and women to become Doctors of Chiropractic, who will then serve as primary health care providers and perpetuate chiropractic services worldwide for the benefit of all mankind.
Parker College is committed to the maintenance of chiropractic as a separate and distinct healing art which addresses primarily the location and detection of spinal misalignments, dysfunctions and subluxations affecting neural integrity. Correction is achieved by either force or non-force spinal and/or extraspinal techniques.
The integration of this wellness philosophy principle is woven through the basic science, chiropractic science, clinical science and techniques department.
