Chiropractic in Market Harborough with Maria Faulks who is a member of The British Chiropractic Association (BCA), which was founded in 1925 and represents over 50% of UK chiropractors. All BCA chiropractors will have undergone a minimum four-year full-time internationally-accredited undergraduate course and are registered with the General Chiropractic Council, the UK's statutory regulator for the profession. The BCA aim to promote, encourage and maintain high standards of conduct, practice, education and training within the profession. Chiropractors treat problems with joints, bones and muscles, and the effects they have on the nervous system. Working on all the joints of the body, concentrating particularly on the spine, they use their hands to make often gentle, specific adjustments (the chiropractic word for manipulation). The effectiveness of chiropractic treatment is supported by research as well as by various UK government and medical organisations.
