On June 14th 2001 chiropractic became a legally registered profession. The General Chiropractic Council (GCC) is the UK-wide statutory body which protects the public by regulating chiropractors, promoting high standards and ensuring that the contribution chiropractors make to the health of the nation is understood by all. It is now a criminal offence for anyone to practice chiropractic, or to call themselves a chiropractor, if they are not on the register. This means that the public will know that anyone calling themselves a chiropractor will have been properly trained and will have achieved a safe standard of competency.
The GCC has its own website which includes a copy of the register which is updated at frequent intervals. If you wish to find a chiropractor near to where you live or work then there is a search facility on the website so that you can easily locate the clinic that is the most convenient for you.
