The Chiropractic education has duration of 7 academic years, after which we obtain the title Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) or Bachelor of Chiropractic if studied in a European university. The European Council on Chiropractic Education controls and approves the curriculum, as well as the diplomas are issued in these universities. The Council on Chiropractic Education establishes educational standards internationally. Not all chiropractic schools have this accreditation.

In most countries, the Doctor of Chiropractic works as a primary care physician and can diagnose, refer or to determine whether the patient needs chiropractic care rather than medical treatment, and if necessary refer you to other specialists.

The World Health Organization defines chiropractic as a health profession that deals with diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders of the musculoskeletal system, and the effects that these disorders have on nerve system and general health.

Unfortunately, Spain does not recognize chiropractic as health profession today. Spanish Chiropractic Association (AEQ) is currently trying to obtain recognition.

To find appropriately qualified professionals, please contact the Spanish Chiropractic Association. Today, our profession suffers from many intruders. Make sure your body always is in the hands of professionals.
