Professional Statement
The Cyprus
chiropractic association (CyCA) is committed to the highest levels of excellence
in chiropractic education, patient care, standards of practice and continuing
professional development.
Chiropractic is a primary contact healthcare profession, with its own distinct
holistic principles and practice, specialising in the art of manipulation of
the joints, largely by hand alone, with a view to normalising neuro-musculo-skeletal
function as it relates to the spine and to patients' health.
Chiropractors use neither drugs nor surgery, but refer to relevant specialists
where appropriate. They are regulated by law, and practise autonomously within
the healthcare community, promoting co-operative relationships with other healthcare
professionals, both within and outside of the healthcare system, for the benefit
of the patient.
Chiropractic scope is not defined by law. The Cyprus chiropractic association
is committed to ensuring that this clinical freedom is retained within the
parameters of good practice.
