  Gemma H. asked:

  Can anyone recommend a good equine chiropractor in Staffordshire?

  

  Sue P. replied:

  Be aware that the title 'Chiropractor' is a protected title (so anyone calling themselves a chiropractor should be qualified in the human field as well as the animal field), but the word 'chiropractic' is not, so it's not illegal to promote yourself as using chiropractic techniques even if you're not a chiropractor. The same applies to 'Osteopath' which is protected, but 'osteopathic' which is not. Unfortunately in the physio field, as soon as you put an animal related word in front of the title 'physiotherapist' (for example, Veterinary Physio, Animal Physio, Equine Physio), the title is not protected and so there are a variety of qualifying routes, from a few years to a few weekends. Chartered Physiotherapists (www.acpat.co.uk) have qualified in the human field before undergoing further training in the animal field. I hope this helps.
