Why
Chiropractic?
Why
Life West?
In a world where health care professionals have the prescription pad at the ready, chiropractic care provides a meaningful alternative that goes light-years beyond cracking backs.
Life West’s clinically inspired curriculum and whole-body health care approach allows our graduates to play a major role in the care of their patients, paving the way for measurable and meaningful results without the pharmaceutical-first approach all too common today.

Clinically Inspired Learning Curriculum
Other schools take a sequential approach to their curriculum – classroom studies followed by the clinic component. At Life West, we approach the two in tandem so students see the application of their academic studies in the real-world environment.

More Hands-On Experience Through Early Clinic Entrance
Building on our curriculum, we believe giving students the earliest hands-on experience and maximizing their time spent with patients in a clinical setting are the most effective way to prepare practice-ready chiropractors.

Experiential Learning While Traveling: Global Service Trips
Life West was founded on the ethos of Give, Do, Love & Serve. Students have the opportunity to live that ethos through Life West’s International Service Trips including Tonga, India, Mexico & beyond. Learn chiropractic, give back to undeserved communities and travel.

The Leading Chiropractic Preceptorship Program
Life West offered the first Chiropractic Preceptorship Program and continues to offer the most extensive in-the-field education options. Most students spend their final year working off-campus in busy chiropractic offices under the mentorship of a DC of their choosing.

Two Unique Locations
California & Nebraska
Campuses
Whether you’re drawn to the sunshine and geography of Northern California or the charm, seasons and affordability of The Midwest, Life West has two fantastic locations to pursue a Chiropractic degree.
California Campus
Situated in the heart of The San Francisco Bay Area, our West coast campus provides a great learning location and an unparalleled home base for everything the West Coast has to offer: Professional opportunities, a bustling food & nightlife scene, Lake Tahoe, Napa, Yosemite and so much more.
Learn More
Nebraska Campus
Brand-new in Fall 2023, our Bellevue, Nebraska campus (just outside of Omaha) offers friendly, Midwestern hospitality and a very reasonable cost-of-living, while boasting the lowest student-to-teacher ratio in chiropractic education.
