Thank you,

Hi Ryan!
Estimate of Licensed Chiropractors 2005: 74,000
Estimate of Practicing Chiropractors 2005: 63,000
"In 2001 there were 78,664 active chiropractic licenses in the US
States. Since many chiropractors are licensed to practice in more than
one state (Florida is especially popular), licenses in different
states to the same chiropractor need to be removed. Cheryl Hawk did
this for 2001 and found there were 66,670 non redundant chiropractic
license holders. However, there is some
percentage of licensed chiropractors who do not practice. One estimate is
15%. Using this that would mean there were an estimated 57,000 practicing
DCs in the US in 2001. In 2002, there were 84,836 licenses. Using the same
percentage of redundant licenses leads to an estimated 72,000 non-redundant
licensed chiropractors. We then removed 15% as an estimate of nonpracticing
chiropractors which leaves 61,000 as actively practicing chiropractors
in 2002. Another estimate is provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS). The BLS, based on a national sample survey,
estimated that there were
49,000 active chiropractors in 2002. Most experts interviewed thought this
number was too low."

Revisited: 2005 to 2015."

"More than 60,000 chiropractors are practicing in the United States
today, and 10,000 students are studying to become doctors of
chiropractic medicine, or DCs."

"Today in America there are over 65,000 practising Chiropractors
treating 20-25 million patients. One in 10 Americans sees a
Chiropractor at least once a year."

"There are some 70,000 practicing chiropractors, legally called
doctors, with 4,000 new graduates every year.

Bobbi,
The information is great - I appreciate it very much. Let me know if
you can get data regarding the number of physicians nationwide
belonging to "Medical Groups", i.e. Physician Hospital Organizations
(PHOs), Medical Service Organizations (MSOs), Independent Practice
Associations (IPAs), and Physician Practice Management Companies
(PPMCs). I have got some data from the MCIC (Managed Care Information
Center), but unfortunately it's weak. If you can get these totals, I
will post another question at a better rate - Thanks again!

Ryan,
IŽll look into your additional questions tomorrow because I'm a bit
busy right now. If I locate anything, I'll let you know.
I would suggest that you post separate questions for each medical
group and perhaps other researchers will be able locate the figures
you need.
Regards,
Bobbie7
