What is CHIROPRACTIC?
Before consulting a Chiropractor for your backpain, or even oddly taking your infant who is suffering from Infantile Colic to your local DC, you will probably want to know more about Chiropractic Alternative Medicine. How fringe is Chiropractic help?
The paramedical professions belong to what is called the CAM stable. Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Not complimentary, that's something quite different!
There's considerable debate within the profession whether to remain in CAM, or become a part of mainstream medicine, as Dentistry is. There are pros and cons.
Are you a Chiropractor in South Africa and registered with CASA? Then, if you are registered at Chiropractic-Help.com (a once-off fee of R500), you can create a personalised webpage about yourself and your clinic. There's no extra charge for this service.
Include up to four photographs of yourself and your clinic, and of course remember to include your clinic address and phone number.
Bearing in mind the CASA rules concerning advertising, give some indication of extra courses you have attended (for example, have you completed the FICS courses?) and what you specialise in. You can brag just a little...!
CHIROPRACTIC ASSOCIATION OF SOUTH AFRICA (CASA)
All professions need a body to whom it's members are accountable. CASA upholds the standards within the profession and controls the day-to-day running of a large profession. There are nearly 100 Chiropractors registered with CASA in the Western Cape alone. We recommend you only consult members of CASA. Ask before making an appointment if the chiropractor is registered with CASA.
