The independent UK chiropractor directory

What chiropractor should I see?

Compare fees, techniques and when GCC registration and insurance were last checked.

Why checking matters

Know what has been checked before you book.

Every chiropractor in the UK must be registered with the General Chiropractic Council. Before a profile goes live, we check the chiropractor's GCC entry and their current insurance, and the profile shows the dates and links to their entry on the GCC register.

Compare these checked facts with the fees, techniques and practice details they provide, then decide who to contact.

Our approach

The standard behind every listing

  1. Registration checked. We find each chiropractor's entry on the General Chiropractic Council register, confirm it says practising, and show the date we checked.

  2. Insurance reviewed. We read their current professional indemnity insurance, check it covers their chiropractic practice, and record when it expires.

  3. Kept current. We recheck registration at least once a year, and hide a profile if registration or insurance lapses.

  4. Independent. Not owned by the GCC, a professional body, a college or an insurer, and we never take a cut of your appointments.

These checks confirm registration and insurance on the dates shown. Finding the right chiropractor is a personal choice, so a short conversation before you book is a good idea. Read our verification standard.

Before you get in touch

The practical details, side by side

Chiropractors work in different ways. Each profile puts the facts you need near the top, so you can compare a few people before deciding who to contact.

  • Fees for a first appointment and follow-ups
  • Techniques used and practice locations
  • New-patient availability and last confirmation
  • Working hours, languages and access
  • Dated GCC registration and insurance checks

What people come for

Whatever brings you here, start with someone checked

Each chiropractor lists the areas they work with. Compare their techniques, fees and checks, then ask them how they'd assess and treat you. For pain after an injury or accident, or symptoms that worry you or won't go away, speak to your GP first.

Backache

Backache is one of the most common reasons people see a chiropractor. Ask what the first appointment involves and how they would work with you alongside any care from your GP. When public search opens, you'll also be able to search for sciatica or lumbago.

Mechanical neck pain

Mechanical neck pain is the stiff, aching kind that often builds up over long days at a desk, rather than pain after an injury. Many chiropractors see it. Compare how each one describes their approach, and ask what you might do between appointments.

Headaches arising from the neck

Some headaches start in the neck. A chiropractor will ask about your headaches before suggesting anything. If headaches are new, severe or changing, see your GP first.

Minor sports injuries

For the knocks and strains that come with running, gym work or weekend sport, compare chiropractors who work with active people. Be wary of anyone who promises a result, and ask what they would suggest for getting back to your sport.

Questions about choosing a chiropractor

Short answers about chiropractors, our checks and using WhatChiro.

Who can call themselves a chiropractor?

Only someone registered with the General Chiropractic Council. "Chiropractor" is a protected title in the UK, and the GCC register is the official record. Every chiropractor listed here links to their GCC entry, and we check it and their insurance.

What does "registration checked" mean?

It means we found their entry on the GCC register on the date shown and confirmed it says practising. We check it again at least once a year. WhatChiro is a directory, not a register.

How do I decide who to contact?

Each profile shows the areas a chiropractor works with, the techniques they use and what appointments cost. You can ask them about your needs before you book.

Does sending an enquiry book an appointment?

No. It sends your message to the chiropractor so you can talk about the next step.

We can't give medical advice. If you need urgent help, call 999 in an emergency, or NHS 111 for urgent medical advice, day or night.

Already have a chiropractor in mind?

Look them up in seconds. If they're listed here, you'll see their GCC entry and the dates we checked their registration and insurance. If they're not, we'll show you how to look them up on the GCC register and what to ask.
