WHO guidelines on basic training and safety in chiropractic
December 1, 2020: Chiropractic is international healthcare recognized by WHO (World Health Organization), one of organizations of UN (United Nations). Though it spreads to about 90 countries with legislation over 40 countries, it is not still legalized in Japan. On November 2005, WHO published the official document comprising guidelines on basic training and safety in chiropractic. The objectives of this document are; to provide minimum requirements for chiropractic education; to serve as a reference for national authorities in establishing an examination and licensing system for the qualified practice of chiropractic; to review contraindications in order to minimize the risk of accidents and to advise on the management of complications occurring during treatment and to promote the safe practice of chiropractic.
