General Chiropractic Council (GCC)
The General Chiropractic Council is the statutory governmental body responsible for the regulation of chiropractic in the United Kingdom. It was established by the Chiropractors Act 1994, to protect the public by regulating chiropractors, set standards for professional education, practice and conduct and to ensure the development of the chiropractic profession. The General Chiropractic Council provides a searchable database of registered chiropractors.
McTimoney Chiropractic Association (MCA)
Professional body providing information on Chiropractic in general and the McTimoney technique specifically. The McTimoney Chiropractic Association also provides a searchable database of both human and animal McTimoney Chiropractors.
The Royal College of Chiropractors (RCC)
The College is an academic membership organisation with over 1500 UK members, 2800 members worldwide, with the objectives of promoting the art, science and practice of chiropractic, improving and maintaining standards in the practice of chiropractic for the benefit of the public and promoting awareness and understanding of chiropractic amongst medical practitioners and other healthcare professionals and the public. The Royal College of Chiropractors also aims to educate and train practitioners in the art, science and practice of chiropractic and and advance the study of and research into chiropractic.
McTimoney College of Chiropractic (MCC)
The McTimoney College of Chiropractic is the only institution offering mixed mode learning courses in chiropractic. It emphasises training in the McTimoney method of chiropractic, a gentle, skilful and effective holistic treatment developed by founder John McTimoney who began teaching his methods in 1972. Chiropractors offering the McTimoney Chiropractic technique will have trained here.
Register of Animal Musculoskeletal Practitioners (RAMP)
RAMP is committed to protecting the public and their animals, and promoting public confidence in the animal musculoskeletal occupation it registers. Professionals trained in Chiropractic, Osteopathic and Physiotherapy techniques are regarded here as one occupation – i.e. animal musculoskeletal practitioners. RAMP registered practitioners follow a strict code of conduct, work within their scope of practice, comply with annual CPD requirements and have appropriate insurance. The RAMP register is intended to help veterinary surgeons and animal owners choose and be able to refer to professionals providing Chiropractic, Osteopathic and Physiotherapy techniques who are not regulated by the RCVS for the treatment of animals. Practitioners on the Register may belong to a variety of professional associations and may have qualified at different training establishments, but still continue to meet RAMP’s Gold Standard in practice.
RAMP’s Gold Standard ensures all professionals registered with RAMP demonstrate the highest standards of proficiency and professionalism, equivalent to the demands of the statutory regulatory bodies governing Chiropractic, Osteopathy and Physiotherapy in the human domain. This means that you can be confident that your animal should receive the same level of care as you would yourself.

Honey’s Real Dog Food
Honey’s Real Dog Food is a small, ethical, family-run dog food company that believes that dogs should eat the same sort of diet that they would enjoy if they lived in the wild. This is not a romantic notion, dogs should eat the type of diet that nature intended for them – that is raw, fresh meat, bones and vegetables. Waterside Chiropractic shares this ethos with Honeys Real Dog Food. As well as being a biologically appropriate diet, all of the meat used in Honeys real dog food is free range or wild and comes from British, ethical farmers. Waterside Chiropractic’s resident canines, Merlot and Sol, would not eat anything else! Should you wish to try some Honey’s, contact Waterside Chiropractic for a free sample.

Quite Fancy That
A great website design and graphic design studio. Alan designed this fab website and taught me how to use it….say no more! He has a real passion and enthusiasm for touring on pushbikes, doing cross-country (and across several countries and continents!) treks in all weathers and terrains – now that is to be admired (…nutters)! They have also recently dragged me kicking and screaming into the 21st Century by getting me on to the various social media sites.
