The main difference between a chiropractor, an osteopathic doctor, and an acupuncturist is their training. A chiropractor typically receives four years of undergraduate education in health sciences followed by four years of medical school. An osteopathic doctor receives two years of undergraduate education in science or humanities followed by four years of medical school. An acupuncturist usually has at least three years of undergraduate education followed by several years of acupuncture training.
