The use of chiropractic techniques on humans is regulated by the General Chiropractic Council where those who have undergone the relevant training are registered as chiropractors. No one else may describe themselves as a chiropractor.

The treatment of animals is regulated under the Veterinary Act. As a practitioner using the McTimoney technique on animals only, Jo is not registered with GCC and therefore does not describe herself as a chiropractor, chiropractic practitioner, chiropractitioner, or any other kind of chiropractor
