Chiropractic was one of the first complementary therapies to be governed by statutory regulation by parliament. In this respect, chiropractors have similar status to doctors, osteopaths, nurses, opticians and dentists. Jo Wise and Nick Sheeran are both registered with the GCC. After obtaining undergraduate degrees in health related fields, and both pursuing Olympic sporting careers, they then both underwent four years full-time chiropractic education. This has been followed up ever since by continual professional development.
