Chiropractic Care and the NHS
Chiropractic treatment is considered to be a complementary therapy, which means that it is not usually available on the NHS. Although complementary therapies are gradually becoming more widely available on the NHS, you may not be able to get chiropractic treatment in your area.As well deciding what health services a local community needs, and providing funding for them, your local Primary Care Trust (PCT) is responsible for deciding whether or not chiropractic treatment is available on the NHS.
It is best to speak directly to your General Practitioner and ask if your local PCT has funding available for Chiropractic care.Your Back to Health Chiropractor will be more than happy to communicate with your GP and discuss your personal requirements.
It is worth remembering that the NICE guidelines on how your General Practitioner should advise when dealing with chronic low back pain (longer than 6 weeks duration) , it is recommended that your General Practitioner refer those patients to a chiropractor for up to 9 treatments over 12 weeks.
