WHAT IS A CHIROPRACTOR
A chiropractor Leeds manipulates the joints, bones and muscles with their hands to help reduce pain and increase mobility. The term chiropractor comes from the Latin prefix ‘chiro’ meaning hand and Ancient Greek for ‘practical’ or ‘do’. Chiropractic has ancient roots and can be traced back over 2000 years to Buddhist temples where depictions of spinal manipulation methods were found.
A chiropractor is a qualified health professional; they must have a degree in chiropractic recognised by the General Chiropractic Council. The Royal College of Chiropractors (RCC) describes UK chiropractic as a ‘statutorily-regulated healthcare profession’.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CHIROPRACTOR AND AN OSTEOPATH?
Many people wonder which practitioner is best to see for their back pain and related complaints. While a chiropractor specialises in muscle and joint pain, particularly around the spine, an osteopath treats a wider range of issues around the body.

DO I NEED A REFERRAL FROM A DOCTOR?
No. You don’t require a referral as a chiropractor is trained to diagnose and treat your issue. However, they will always refer you to another healthcare professional if needed.
If you are in severe or sudden pain, visit your local GP or ring the NHS helpline on 111. They can advise you of who and when to see someone if you need help quickly.
