Chiropractic treatment is very safe. Prior to any treatment your chiropractor will take a full medical history from you to ensure that there are no reasons why you should not receive treatment. If your chiropractor suspects a problem, which requires further investigation, then he/she will refer you to your GP before giving you any treatment.

The General Chiropractic Council (GCC) regulates the chiropractic profession, and all chiropractors have to be registered with the Council to be able to use the title chiropractor. This means that members of the public can visit a registered chiropractor with reassurance that he or she has met all the regulations and standards set by the GCC to ensure the safety of the public.
