Licensing in Manitoba
By law, every province requires chiropractors to earn a license before they are granted the privilege of treating the public. To be licensed, chiropractors must graduate from an accredited chiropractic educational program and pass stringent national examinations, administered by the Canadian Chiropractic Examining Board (CCEB), as well as a provincial exam.
