Chiropractic is a Primary Healthcare Profession which specialises in the examination, treatment and overall management of conditions / problems with joints, ligaments / tendons, muscles and nerves of the body, particularly but not exclusively relating to the spine. A personalised treatment plan aims to restore normal joint mobility, reducing muscle spasm and thereby relieving pain and nervous dysfunction, resulting in positive health benefits. Patients are also given advice and educated on rehabilitation to help prevent future relapses of their condition. Worldwide, Chiropractic is the third largest Primary Healthcare Profession behind Medicine and Dentistry. In the UK it is the fastest-growing Independent Healthcare Profession and is regulated by the General Chiropractic Council (GCC).
