There is statutory regulation of chiropractic in the UK.

Regulation
Statutory regulation of chiropractic works in the same way as regulation for conventional medical doctors.
This means it is illegal to practice as a chiropractor or call yourself a chiropractor unless you are registered with the General Chiropractic Council (GCC).
The GCC only accepts registration from practitioners who have certain qualifications in chiropractic and who agree to comply with its code of practice.
Regulation aims to protect patient safety, by setting and monitoring standards of training, practice and conduct.
Chiropractors in the UK must adhere to standards of practice laid down by the GCC.
