Anatomy study usually was via dissection, but today new technology permits knowledge of the body without it. (1) Your Montreal chiropractor is well-trained in anatomy.

ANATOMY IN SCHOOL: Motivation
Learning new material can be intimidating. Healthcare and chiropractic schools are full of learning and students. Students’ reactions to learning anatomy vary: first year dental students were more anxious than chiropractic students; second year chiropractic students appreciated anatomy education more than medical students. Chiropractic students’ motivation and anatomy performance were intertwined in one study. If they were motivated to learn, they did better in anatomy.
