What chiropractors make
Established, 5+ years
$90,000
First 2 or 3 years
$60,000
Busy owner
$150,000
Nearly every chiropractor is self-employed or an associate paid a share of billings, which makes this income hard to survey. Job Bank reports a median of about $62,000 a year and a high of about $138,000; the low end includes part-time and early-career practices, so the figures above lean toward full-time established practice. Income depends on how many patients you build up. Some earn under $50,000 for years; some owners clear $200,000.
