About Chiropractors
Chiropractic is a primary contact health profession that specialises in the diagnosis, treatment, prevention and overall management of conditions that are due to problems with the joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerves especially related to the spine. Chiropractic aims at treating the cause of the problem, not just the symptoms.
Chiropractors take an integrated and holistic approach to the health needs of their patients, considering physical, psychological and social factors. They provide care and support by reducing pain and disability and by restoring normal function to people with neuro-musculoskeletal disorders.
Gentle, Safe and Specific Adjustments
Chiropractic treatment mainly involves safe, often gentle, specific manipulation to free joints in the spine or other areas of the body that are not moving properly. Apart from manipulation, chiropractors may use a variety of techniques including soft tissue massage, ice, heat, ultrasound and exercise, as well as advice about posture and lifestyle.

Chiropractic does not involve the use of any drugs or surgery.
Regulated Profession
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.
All Chiropractors at this clinic are members of either the British Chiropractic Association or the Scottish Chiropractic Association and are all registered with the GCC.
Education & Training
The title of Chiropractor is protected by law and, as a result, only those who are registered with the government appointed regulator, the General Chiropractic Council (GCC), can call themselves Chiropractors. The GCC has set the standards of education in Chiropractic and all Chiropractors must have graduated from an accredited institution before being accepted onto the Register.
