| How
are we trained? |
| Dr
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. |
| Last
year (2007), Steven completed 60 hours of seminars,
this is 4 times the level needed to stay on
the register, he also 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. |
| Dr
Steve Oldale is also a member of The British
Chiropractic Association. |
