The profession is statutorily regulated through the General Chiropractic Council (GCC). It is illegal to practice as a chiropractor without being registered with the GCC.
The British Chiropractic Association (BCA) is the largest and longest standing association for chiropractors in the UK, requiring international standards of education, exemplary conduct and a commitment to on-going professional development.
