Jeff Langmaid says there are only about 50,000 active chiropractors worldwide, compared to millions of MDs and physical therapists. Most of the world has no access to chiropractic care at all, even though some local markets feel saturated.
And as chiropractors, I think we need to remember chiropractic is not a licensed profession in every country. There's great institutions, I think World Federation of Chiropractic being one of them amongst others, that are doing really hard work making sure that there's access. But realistically, there's like 100,000 licensed chiropractors, like 50,000 really practicing, 75,000 tops. And we look at other industries, MDs, DOs, physical therapists, they eclipse us by orders of magnitude. So, you know, there is way more places in the world where there is zero access to chiropractic chiropractic care than where there is access to chiropractic care, which might seem wild because you might be saying, man, there's like 30 chiropractors in my town, it's hard to compete. But when you look at the global aspects of things, it's wild. I mean, there, you know, hardly anybody is actually getting chiropractic care when we look at the billions upon billions of people that are spread throughout the world.
