Non-conventional medicine, including chiropractic, is now in wide use throughout Europe but is often unregulated. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of present and future regulation of chiropractic practice in Europe. Companion papers look at specific legal and professional issues in Finland, where chiropractors are regulated by law, and France, where they are not.
