There are two broad groups of chiropractors for whom the provision is designed.
At present, there is no requirement for any person who calls himself a chiropractor to undergo formal training.
I have learnt that there are about 900 chiropractors in this country and that they treat about 75,000 patients a week.
The chiropractors were "significantly more effective" than eight of the hospitals.
As we all know, many people suffer from back and neck trouble and have occasion to consult either an osteopath or a chiropractor.
I cricked my back, was successfully treated by a chiropractor and have not suffered from it since.
That is how osteopaths and chiropractors were able to make progress.
The process has worked well, although chiropractors are a little way behind.
