What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic offer a hands-on approach to alleviate pain and improve function, addressing the cause of the problem at its source. We conduct a detailed examinations to determine if chiropractic is the right treatment for you. Treatment is mainly focused on the function of the neuromusculoskeletal system (nerves, muscles and joints).
Chiropractic is a government regulated profession in the UK. In order to practise in the UK all chiropractors must have undertaken an undergraduate masters degree course at a recognised university to be able to register with the General Chiropractic Council (GCC). Some chiropractors go on to complete a one year post-graduate development course (PRTs) and can become registered members of the Royal College of Chiropractors. To retain their annual registration chiropractors are required to continually update their skills through continued professional development (CPD) each year.
