Frequently Asked Questions
Chiropractic education and training is extensive, and in South Africa, a master’s degree in Chiropractic is awarded after the completion of a six-year program.
If you are currently a student of chiropractic, be sure to register with CASA.
In South Africa, there are two institutions where you can study chiropractic – either at the Durban University of Technology (DUT), or at the University of Johannesburg (UJ). It will take you six years of education and training to qualify (Masters degree in Chiropractic).
You may consider going into private practice either on your own or into a partnership with an existing practitioner. You could also consider having an academic career. Working abroad is another option.
Most registered chiropractors in South Africa are members of the Chiropractic Association of South Africa (CASA), which in turn is affiliated with the World Federation of Chiropractic (WFC) and subscribes to its standards. CASA was instrumental in securing the original recognition of the profession attained through Act 63 of 1982 and has actively participated in further amendments leading to the Allied Health Professions Act which offers some of the finest chiropractic laws in the world.
