The scope of chiropractic practice: A survey of chiropractors in the UK

The chiropractors in this study may not view themselves as neuromusculoskeletal (NMS) specialists only. Respondents reported treating visceral/organic conditions and expressed a belief that patients with these complaints can benefit from chiropractic. Differences in opinion appear to remain between the professional associations, particularly in relation to treatment benefits for viscero-somatic conditions and philosophical relevance. However, these findings need to be explored in a more representative sample.
