A Chiropractor based in Canterbury Kent, UK sates on their web-site that Chiropractic, around the world, is divided. There is one half that practice in a way that is congruent with medicine, but not what chiropractic was founded upon. This small faction of chiropractic only provide palliative care and provide treatment to relieve symptoms. It is the purpose of this kind of chiropractor to see a patient for 6-8 visits for pain relief and possibly some kind of treatment regime to minimise pain. This kind of chiropractor is trained in the UK.
Unfortunately, training is limited to this one form of chiropractic. It is unfortunate for the profession but even more unfortunate for the community who miss out on the many benefits that the other, more prevalent faction of chiropractic, provide all around the world, from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, USA, Europe, South Africa and even Ireland.
They go on to state that the leading and most prevalent group of chiropractors are trained overseas in countries like Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States.
This Chiropractor graduated with a double degree as a Doctor of Chiropractic in Australia, where they practised as a Chiropractor until June 2000 when they decided to move to the UK. They now practice as a Spinal Specialist in Blean, near Canterbury in Kent in the UK.
I am personally dismayed and find it very frustrating that certain practitioners of such an established and accredited profession as Chiropractic. Find it necessary to seek a commercial advantage by decrying other established practices and aspects of their Profession.
Chiropractic needs to present a united front to the world, not this "I’m trained in this technique and they are not". The I’m better than you are approach to attracting potential patients is only undermining the Chiropractic Profession as a whole and its ability to establish itself as the treatment of choice for those suffering from back related disorders!
