Give, Do, Love, and Serve in India!
Life Chiropractic College West is proud to have our students be a part of an on-going initiative to expand the experience of chiropractic in India. India is an ancient land steeped in tradition and deeply connected to a rich and vibrant history. With only 10 full-time chiropractors in the country, Life West interns play a vital part in bringing excellent healthcare to the people.
Five times per year, Life Chiropractic College West travels to India as part of our Global Service Trip initiative. For three of those trips, we travel to Gujarat, a state north of Mumbai on India’s western coast. There, we partner with Kadi Sarva Vishwavidyalaya (KSV), a physiotherapy college, to host a three-day chiropractic service camp where over 5,000 locals receive treatment.
This service trip is open to interns enrolled as students at Life Chiropractic College West, who are eligible to adjust out-patients and are in good academic standing.
On this trip, you will immerse yourself in service, discovering the rewards that your time studying have brought to help real people’s lives. Over and over, you’ll see the impact of chiropractic care and receive an immense outpouring of gratitude from this underserved community.
In addition to gaining academic credit, you’ll get to work with experienced DCs to bring direct chiropractic care to as many patients as you can throughout the clinic.
It’s important to know that each service trip is different. Attendees should consult their trip’s detailed packet for all information specific to the trip they’re attending. That said, below you’ll find a representative itinerary for our India KSV trip.
Complete the Request More Info form on this page. The Life West team will quickly follow up with additional details to get you involved with an upcoming service trip. Priority will be given to interns in upper quarters and to those interns who sign up early.

That depends on you, though we do tend to move fairly quickly since there may be hundreds of patients waiting to be seen.
You will be provided with an interpreter during the clinic, if needed.
Our host will ensure that we have security at the site.
Our Service Trip Coordinator will select a hotel that is near to the clinic site and can accommodate our group in comfort. We will let you know as soon as it is confirmed.
