What do the initials DC after a physician's name mean?
D.C. is a Doctor of Chiropractic.
The only doctors legally allowed to be called physicians are
M.D.s (Doctors of Medicine) and D.O.s (Doctors of Osteopathic
Medicine). D.C.s are not physicians, legally, and should not be
portraying themselves as such. If you have found a Chiropractor
portraying himself as a physician, please notify your state's
medical and chiropractic boards.
