chiropractic ranks third amongst the legally recognised health professions, being the most used complementary medicine after allopathic medicine.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In these countries, the chiropractor is a primary health care professional with a higher level university degree carrying the title of Doctor of Chiropractic, abbreviated to DC.<\/p>\n<p>In the USA, DC\u2019s practice in specialised or multidisciplinary clinics, either private like the Mayo clinic public such as the Government\u2019s NIH (National Institute of Health) centres.<br \/>\nMost of the professionals have degrees in the advanced study of radiology, orthopaedics, neurology or sports medicine.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<strong>The position in Spain<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In Spain, chiropractic medicine is still not well integrated into the health care or academic systems, a situation that gives rise to the entry of unqualified people into the profession.<\/p>\n<p>It is not rare to find someone who calls themself a chiropractor without having undertaken the required university training.<\/p>\n<p>Chiropractic medicine is often confused with chiropraxic or chiromassage which mostly involves unspecific manipulations with limited therapeutic effect.<\/p>\n<p>Other therapies often confused with chiropractic medicine include Spinology and Atlas Profilax.<\/p>\n<p>Manipulation techniques can only be mastered through practice undertaken during the years at university under the supervision of expert doctors, physiologists and chiropractors.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, a chiropractor would never adjust a vertebra without having had x-rays taken before and after the adjustment.<\/p>\n<p>Radiology is one of the basic components of our university training.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to exercise extreme caution when deciding who we let touch our spine; practitioners who have not received sufficient training can simply ignore the risks that these manipulations can lead to when undertaken inexpertly.<\/p>\n<p>We recommend that you check the qualifications of the practitioner who is going to treat you: a chiropractor in 100% of situations will be able to show you his academic credentials.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, in Spain the qualified individuals mentioned above can join the AEQ, the Association of Spanish Chiropractors.<\/p>\n<p>As chiropractors, we hope that this situation will normalise shortly given that, 2 years ago, the first faculty of chiropractic medicine was set up by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rcumariacristina.com\/esp\/portada2.php?idSec=3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Universidad Complutense de Madrid.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another chiropractic school opened its doors in 2009 in Barcelona.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bcchiropractic.es\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BC Chiropractic<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;vc_default&#8221;
