Did you know that up to 30% of all GP consultations in England relate to MSK conditions?

In a system under intense pressure, could broadening who delivers frontline MSK care free up vital GP time?

It’s time to rethink who can support patients in accessing fast, effective MSK treatment. Research from the BCA and the York Health Economics Consortium (YHEC) finds that giving chiropractors same status as physiotherapists and osteopaths could dramatically cut NHS waiting lists by over 100,000 appointments and boost UK productivity by an estimated £400 million per year.

From years of university-level training to delivering regulated, evidence-informed care, chiropractors are MSK (musculoskeletal) specialists dedicated to improving movement, mobility, and overall health across the UK.

Chiropractic is a highly regulated healthcare profession, with extensive research supporting its safety and effectiveness. In the UK, chiropractors are legally regulated and must follow strict codes of practice - just like doctors and dentists. This regulation ensures consistency in education, high standards of training, and protection for patients using this protected title.

BCA chiropractors go beyond hands-on care. They integrate cognitive and lifestyle-based interventions, offering personalised advice on work, exercise, and daily habits to support long-term recovery. They also use functional rehabilitation and spinal stabilisation programmes to address persistent problems and reduce the risk of recurrence.

To become a chiropractor in the UK, students complete a four-year full-time Master’s Degree at one of the accredited universities in the country. BCA members take this commitment a step further, completing post-registration training with the Royal College of Chiropractors.

Chiropractic training covers a comprehensive range of medical knowledge and clinical skills, including:

◾Anatomy and physiology

◾Orthopaedics and neurology

◾Diagnostic imaging (X-ray and MRI)

◾Nutrition and histopathology

◾Rehabilitation

◾Care of older patients and paediatrics

◾General diagnosis (e.g. blood pressure, cardiac and respiratory exams, abdominal assessment)

This breadth of training allows chiropractors to take a whole-person approach and tailor care to each individual. There’s no one-size-fits-all treatment; every care plan is guided by the patient’s needs, preferences, and expectations.

As most chiropractic care is delivered in private practice, patient choice is paramount, and clinicians can utilise a full range of tools and techniques, without the limitations often found in other care settings -when clinically appropriate.

With nearly 3 million people in the UK living with back and neck pain, timely access to care is essential. But musculoskeletal health is more than just physical treatment. Factors like sleep, stress, and lifestyle habits play a crucial role in long-term recovery, which is why chiropractors embrace a whole-person approach.

In our latest Knowledge Hub article, BCA President Tim Button explores the role of person-centred care in chiropractic, from early intervention to collaboration with other healthcare professionals.
