About Chiropractic
Chiropractic is a regulated healthcare profession that aims to reduce pain and improve movement and function in the joints, muscles and nerves by using a combination of manipulation, mobilisation, soft tissue techniques, stretching, exercises and other modalities.
All chiropractors regulated by the GCC (General Chiropractic Council) must have undertaken at least 4 years of training at a recognised institution.
