Exciting Career

Assistants also give physiotherapy treatments and may take and record the patient's blood pressure, assist in X-rays, and give first aid.  They provide back and front office support to Chiropractors.  For back office, they may do basic examinations or therapeutic massage.  They must be familiar with Chiropractic theory and terminology, knowledge of anatomy and physiology.
