How Safe And Effective Is Chiropractic?
Back in 2010 a UK study was published which provided a summary of the scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of manual treatment for the management of a variety of musculoskeletal and non-musculoskeletal conditions. It is commonly known as the Brontfort Report (pubmed commentary here) and seen as the go to document for medical physicians working with chiropractors due to the depth and scientific integrity of the publication addressing the efficacy of manual therapies and other treatments offered by chiropractors.
The conclusions were that Spinal manipulation/mobilisation is effective in adults for: acute, subacute and chronic lower back pain; migraine and cervicogenic headache as well as acute/subacute neck pain and several extremity joint conditions.
Chiropractors typically use over 80 different techniques in manipulation of the joints. Treatments have an evidence base of proven effectiveness. Practitioners recommend a preventative approach to spinal care including regular check ups.
Chiropractors in the UK are regulated by the General Chiropractic Council (GCC):
Chiropractic is a regulated profession. All chiropractors in the UK must be registered with the General Chiropractic Council (GCC). Registration with the GCC means chiropractors are committed to providing the highest quality of care and professionalism to their patients, are fully qualified to provide chiropractic treatment safely and effectively, and follow the standards set out in the Code of Practice for Chiropractors.
The Chiro Collective offers follow ups with GCC regulated Chiropractors only via established clinics offering the highest standards.

With day to day living most of us experience one of the three main causes that attribute to pain and dysfunction. These three main categories are repetitive actions, immobility and emotional/mental stress. These three stresses in our lives cause different forms of symptoms such as stiffness, pain, headaches, sciatica, poor sleep, low energy and spinal and/or extremity dysfunction.
