The Newfoundland and Labrador Chiropractic Board (NLCB) is the regulatory body that licenses chiropractors in Newfoundland and Labrador and helps sets standards of practice to protect the public. In order to obtain and maintain a license to practice, all chiropractors must meet a strict set of guidelines including graduation from a chiropractic college accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education of Canada (CCEC), criminal record check clearance and ongoing continuing education requirements as prescribed by regulation. In addition, all registered chiropractors are required to abide by the Chiropractors Act, 2009 and all applicable regulations, guidelines and policies. These criteria mean that patients can rest assured that chiropractors are trusted, primary care providers. Patients also have recourse through the NLCB if they have concerns with respect to the care they have received by a registered chiropractor in NL.
