A Career as an Chiropractors

Chiropractors diagnose and treat problems with joints, bones and muscles, and the effects they have on the nervous system, without drugs or surgery. They work with all the joints of the body, concentrating particularly on the spine. They use their hands to make gentle, specific adjustments to improve the efficiency of the nervous system and release the body's natural healing ability. Chiropractic does not involve the use of drugs or surgery.

Chiropractic Careers
Chiropractic is unique amongst health care professions in that there are internationally set standards of education, meaning that qualification from an internationally accredited education establishment truly furnishes you with a portable qualfication to take across the world.

In the UK today, there are over 2,200 practicing chiropractors and the profession is growing year on year. Nearly all chiropractors work as private health care providers, although some do provide services through the NHS.

Private practice enables chiropractors to choose to work where they want and allows the kind of flexibility of working hours tht many professions cannot offer. Chiropractors can chose to work for a chiropractic or health clinic as an employee, be in partnership with other chiropractors or health professionals or run their own clinic.

The British Chiropractic Association (BCA)
The BCA was founded in 1925 and is the largest and longest‐standing association for chiropractors in the UK; requiring the highest standards of education, training and conduct from its members.

The BCA offers its chiropractic members a wide range of services, including professional indemnity insurance, marketing and promotion, business support services, general advice, communications and profession updates. It also aims to increase awareness of chiropractic treatment within the UK and acts as a source of information to the public.
