There are a number of degrees and credentials that are awarded to chiropractors, depending on the culture and regulations of different jurisdictions.
Some chiropractors do not have degrees, including the founder of chiropractic, D. D. Palmer.
In the United States, it is possible to receive board certification in a chiropractic specialism.
Board certified chiropractics receive a diploma in the specialism and are known as a diplomate or fellow.
These credentials are generally recognized only by the bodies which grant them.
