At the Back Pain Centre Sunderland our Chiropractors are primary health-care profession that specialises in the diagnosis, treatment and overall management of conditions that are due to problems with the joints, ligaments, tendons and nerves of the body, particularly those of the spine.
Treatment consists of a wide range of manipulative techniques designed to improve the function of the joints, relieving pain and muscle spasm.
In common with medical practitioners and dentists, all chiropractors are registered by law under the Chiropractors Act 1994 and the title ‘Chiropractor’ is protected under this legislation. The profession is statutorily regulated through the General Chiropractic Council (GCC) (www.gcc-uk.org) and it is illegal to practice as a chiropractor without being registered with the GCC.
Chiropractic training consists of a four or five year degree course and graduates are required by law to register with the GCC and have adequate medical malpractice insurance.
We provide Chiropractic services to patients attending our clinic from all over the North East including Sunderland, Durham, Newcastle.
