What chiropractors treat

Chiropractors focus on the diagnosis and treatment of problems affecting the joints, muscles and spine. People commonly visit for back and neck pain, sciatica, joint pain and some types of headache, as well as sports injuries and posture-related problems. Treatment often combines hands-on adjustment with soft tissue work, exercise and advice on posture and movement.

Registration and standards

In the UK it is a legal requirement for anyone using the title chiropractor to be registered with the General Chiropractic Council, the statutory regulator. Registration confirms the practitioner is qualified, insured and meets professional standards. You can ask a clinic for its registration details, and a first appointment usually includes a full assessment before any treatment begins.

What to expect

A first visit normally involves a case history and physical examination, after which the chiropractor explains the findings and a treatment plan. Ask about the number of sessions likely to be needed and the cost per session. For related care see our physiotherapy and osteopaths listings.

Are chiropractors regulated?

How is a chiropractor different from an osteopath or physiotherapist?
