Chiropractic is the largest natural health care profession in the world. Now established in over 70 countries, this discipline has 90,000 professionals trained at accredited colleges/universities predominantly located in North America and Anglo-Saxon countries.

 

Today, there are almost 250 qualified chiropractic professionals in Spain, most of whom have been trained at accredited universities or colleges in the USA, France or England. Additionally, most are members of the Spanish Chiropractic Association (AEQ), which was founded in 1986 and legalised that same year by the Ministry of the Interior with the approval of the Ministry of Health.

 

The AEQ is a member of both the European Chiropractors' Union (ECU) and the World Federation of Chiropractic (WFC). In turn, the WFC is a non-governmental organisation that has had official relations with the World Health Organization (WHO) since 1997.
