Chiropractor in Ely

Both Chiropractors and Osteopaths are statutory regulated professionals with their own general councils, and by law we are required to be registered with a council in order to practise under the title. Here at Ely Chiropractic Clinic, we are registered with the General Chiropractic Council and are therefore regulated by them. You can find our credentials on their website.

However, every practitioner is unique, and will have their own style of treatment and combination of treatments they like to use.
