There are over 100 chiropractic techniques that 
chiropractors can do as post-graduate training to further their education. Many of these techniques require many hours of study and practical examinations for certification in the specific technique.
Chiropractors in Australia have completed a minimum of five years at university, either doing a 5-year Chiropractic Science degree, or a 3-year Science degree with a 2-year Masters of Chiropractic Science degree. There are only three universities in Australia where you can study chiropractic: Macquarie University, RMIT and Murdoch University. The curriculum has a medical focus and special emphasis is placed on anatomy, physiology, neurology, biomechanics, radiology and diagnostics. There is also very sound training in spinal and peripheral joint adjusting, with fieldwork and clinic internships.
All chiropractors at Total Chiropractic have done at least five years of study at Macquarie University, and have completed further post-graduate study in a number of advanced techniques. Our chiropractors are all trained in Gonstead, Diversified and TPT at university and have done further post-graduate training in the advanced techniques of Applied Kinesiology, Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET), Spinal Occipital Technique (SOT), Neuro Integration Systems (NIS), Metabolics and Retained Neonatal Reflexes. Most of these techniques are very low-force techniques and can be used on new born infants to 100-year olds safely, painlessly and effectively.
Even though different chiropractors may use vastly different 
techniques, the intention remains to remove stress off the nervous system, and allow the individual to function optimally and attain maximal health.
