Description

Gregory Neil Kawchuk and four co-authors report a survey study from 2025 on the mental health of chiropractors in Canada. The team adapted a survey first built for doctors by the Canadian Medical Association. They sent it to chiropractors and students across the country in early 2023 and report here on the part that dealt with mental well-being.

More than two thousand people replied. Most said they were doing well, yet the rates of strain were high: about a third reported burnout, and more than a quarter said they had at some point thought about suicide. Young women early in practice and students scored worst, while older men with long careers scored best. The authors use these profiles to argue for support aimed at those most at risk.
