What is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic is a primary health-care
profession that specialises in the diagnosis, treatment and overall
management of conditions that are due to problems with the joints,
ligaments, tendons and nerves of the body, particularly those of the
spine.
Treatment consists of a wide range of manipulative techniques designed to improve the function of the joints, relieving pain and muscle spasm.
Chiropractic
does not involve the use of any drugs or surgery.
Chiropractic is a primary health-care
profession, so you do not need to be referred by your doctor. A
chiropractor is trained to diagnose your problem and will refer you to
another health-care practitioner if necessary.
Chiropractors treat problems with joints, bones and muscles, and the
effects they have on the nervous system. Working on all the joints of the
body, concentrating particularly on the spine, they use their hands to
make often gentle, specific adjustments (the chiropractic word for
manipulation) to improve the efficiency of the nervous system and release
the body's natural healing ability.
The effectiveness of chiropractic treatment is supported by
research as well as by various UK government and medical
organisations.
In
common with medical practitioners and dentists, all chiropractors are
registered by law under the Chiropractors Act 1994 and the title
‘Chiropractor’ is protected under this legislation.
The profession is statutorily regulated through the General Chiropractic Council (GCC)
and it is illegal to practise as a chiropractor without being registered
with the GCC.
