"There are a lot of doors opening for us. You don't have to focus on just manual manipulation, though it is one of the most powerful tools in our toolbox. You can specialize in rehab, nutrition or pediatrics. More people are seeking chiropractic physicians for different reasons, so specialization will increase."
