What is the difference between DC and ADC when it comes to choosing a chiropractor?

Answer:
A Chiropracter with the initials DC after his/her name means that the individual is a qualified Doctor of Chiropractic, sometimes referred to as a Chiropractic Physician. In the future you may find alternative initials after a Chiropracters name in place of DC, but this is just a proposal. Such as:
DCM - Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine
DCT - Doctor of Chiropractic Therapy

This has been proposed to differentiate Chiropracters (quote)
"from graduates of subluxation-based chiropractic colleges. For example, a Doctor of Chiropractic Therapy (D.C.T.) degree for a group-dependent therapist, or a Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine (D.C.M.) degree for an independent neuromusculoskeletal specialist, would indicate training different from that required for a standard Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree." (unquote)
http://www.chirobase.org/03edu/fsu.html...It looks like one university in the past may have chosen to accredit individuals with ADC rather than DC, which looks like it just means "A Doctor of Chiropractic" rather than "Doctor of Chiropractic". But I could find only one reference to one university and this link was an article about the university in question losing its Accreditation. It could be that an individual you have found with ADC after his/her name has graduated form that specific university in the past. You could enquire from the Chiropracter in question who is better able to answer your query. There may be other universities awarding degrees with ADC rather than DC but I could find no reference to any.
