Getting Adjusted by Chiropractic is not a technical manual and it is not a motivational fantasy. It is a real-world account of what it takes to become—and remain—a chiropractor while navigating life, responsibility, and professional integrity. Through personal experience, this book explores the realities often omitted from formal education: balancing family while in school, cultural and language barriers, discrimination, financial pressure, documentation, ethical boundaries, and the transition from student to independent practitioner. Dr. Ricardo A. Rodríguez, D.C. combines his clinical background with business training to offer clarity on topics such as starting a practice with limited resources, managing personal injury cases, protecting yourself through documentation, maintaining professional identity, and sustaining your body and mind over a long career. Written for chiropractic students, practicing chiropractors, and healthcare professionals, this book does not promise shortcuts. It offers perspective, structure, and hard-earned lessons grounded in experience. This is not a book about success. It is a book about adjustment—long before the first patient enters the room.
