There is a need for chiropractic care as part of the NHS but unfortunately this is not offered UK wide. Chiropractors are primary contact practitioners this means that they have to be thorougly educated and assessed in general diagnosis, treatment and overall management of any joint or ligament conditions but particularly to any spinal joint condition that may be causing backpain.

Most physiotherapists in the UK are trained to work in a hospital related environment in cardiac or lung wards rather than working in private practice. Their techniques that will often complement chiropractic care really well. Their education is generally a 3 year full-time BSc(Hons) but many physios working in private practice undergo additional post-graduate training so that they can improve manipulation skills.
