Chiropractic...
Chiropractic is a healthcare profession that diagnoses and treats musculoskeletal conditions (those of the bones, joints and muscles) as well as the implications of these conditions such as the effects on the nervous system. Chiropractors often work in a holistic manner to take in to account the patients physical, emotional and wellbeing.
Chiropractors will use a range of techniques to increase function and mobility, as well as reducing pain. These techniques often involve manipulation of the spine, massage and acupuncture. Other factors such as advice, excercises and lifstyle changes are often given.
Chiropractic Training...
All Chiropractors practicing in the UK have completed rigorous training and must be registered with the General Chiropractic Council (GOsC). Students of Chiropractic follow a four or five-year degree course, during which they study anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, nutrition and biomechanics.
Qualification generally takes the form of a Masters in Chiropractic (MChiro) or a MSc Chiropractic (MSc).
