How are we trained?
Steven Oldale graduated from the AECC in 1994. The course comprises over 5000 hours of in-depth training in a variety of subjects including life sciences (Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry), Radiology, Orthopaedics, Neurology, Biomechanics, Pathology, Clinical medicine and Differential diagnosis, Pharmacology. Chiropractic undergraduates are trained to diagnose pathology and identify contra-indications for treatment.
Every year Steven undergoes professional development and reads extensively to keep abreast of the best protocols for treatments. His particular interest is the rehabilitation of injuries for long term benefit as this is the gold standard that all therapists should be aiming for. He currently teaches a few hours a week at the AECC and helps to pass on that experience to the undergraduate students in the clinical setting.
Regulations:
The title of Chiropractor is protected by law and as a result only practitioners who are registered by the General Chiropractic Council can call themselves Chiropractors. The GCC has set the standards of education in chiropractic; all chiropractors must have graduated from an accredited institution, or passed a test of competency prescribed by the GCC, before being accepted onto the register. All Chiropractors must undergo continuing professional development in order to remain on the register.
Steven Oldale is also a member of The British Chiropractic Association.
