Practicing chiropractic in Japan
We are receiving many enquiries regarding practicing chiropractic in Japan. Currently Japan does not regulate chiropractic profession, so there is not much opportunity to practice chiropractic for foreigners as the government does not recognize chiropractic licenses from overseas. In order to practice chiropractic in Japan, the followings are required;
Working Visa
Applying for a working visa as a chiropractor is very difficult while most foreign chiropractors practice with a spouse visa.
Language competency
Most residents speak only Japanese language so that you need at least an intermediate language skill to communicate with patients.
