Studies with Future

I am part of a fascinating profession. I work with my hands and have the opportunity to meet new people every day and help them find a level of health that many of them would never have dared to imagine.

I am a chiropractor. What about you, or your children, have you ever thought about studying chiropractic?

History

Since its beginnings back in 1895, chiropractic has continued to grow and today has become the largest healthcare profession in the world.

Europe is on the brink of a change in healthcare, people are increasingly opting for a more natural approach to caring for their health, choosing prevention over healing through external or chemical factors to which the body invariably reacts.

Chiropractic is leading this shift towards well-being. Based on the body’s innate ability to regenerate and regulate itself, chiropractic employs non-invasive techniques unlike drugs or surgery to optimize the body’s potential to be healthy.

The chiropractor focuses on eliminating the interference caused by incorrectly aligned vertebrae that in turn cause long-term health problems. It is a physical job, not sedentary, and the vast majority of chiropractors are their own boss.

My Healing

In my case, I discovered chiropractic when I was 17 years old, about to start a career in medicine. The way of seeing health and how to care for it was dramatically different from what I imagined health was. You feel bad, you take something, you are fine.

Until my chiropractor asked me two questions that would change the course of my studies and my life.

If pain is something bad, why does childbirth hurt so much? Then came the other: Have you ever thought about studying chiropractic?

The Creation of the School

Years later, during a chiropractic seminar, my colleague and friend Adrian Wenban, now director of the Barcelona College of Chiropractic, posed a challenge to a group of colleagues: to create a chiropractic university in Barcelona.

We all got to work, first gathering the necessary funds to create this dream and then negotiating agreements with universities willing to host our initiative.

There was success: today the BCC is part of the Pompeu Fabra University, number one of the universities in Spain, and number 200 worldwide.

Then we secured the cooperation of the Autonomous University of Barcelona, the number two nationally, number 204 worldwide. Our joint effort has allowed us to have a university in the heart of Barcelona, from where our first batch of new colleagues will graduate in two years.

It may seem strange that a group of professionals invests so much time and effort in creating a university that will soon graduate our competitors. But no: today there are 240 chiropractors throughout the national territory, one for every 370,000 inhabitants.

In the US, where the profession was born, there is one chiropractor for every 3,500 people. We need more people! There is a lot of demand and little supply.

A Bright Future

It turns out that chiropractic has a bright future. A recent study by Fast Magazine considers chiropractic one of the top 10 jobs in the US currently.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics adds more information, estimating that the profession will experience a growth of 20% between 2008 and 2018. Chiropractic has a bright future and being part of it is simple.

BCC students are an international group of energetic young people. They attend classes in English and Spanish, as much literature on the profession is written in English.

Prospective students at the BCC must have knowledge of basic sciences, biology, and chemistry essentially and have knowledge of Spanish and English.

From there, the professionals who created the BCC have developed a specific curriculum based on our experience with the goal of creating professionals who will meet the daily health needs of people who increasingly seek other ways to take care of themselves, beyond the traditional.
