The Chiropractic Association of Ireland (CAI) was founded in 1983. It is a voluntary self-regulating supervisory body serving the chiropractic profession and the people of Ireland.

The purpose of the CAI is to maintain professional standards, liaise with various government and health bodies, and to be a professional voice for Chiropractic. Currently there is no legislation governing Chiropractic in Ireland. This means regardless of proper qualifications or ethical standards anyone may call themselves a Chiropractor.

The Chiropractic Association of Ireland (CAI) is the only national organisation to insist that its members are trained to the highest educational standards and only graduates of ECCE/CCE/CCEI/ACCE* accredited institutions are permitted to join the association.

The CAI is the only Irish chiropractic association to be a full member of the European Chiropractors’ Union and the World Federation of Chiropractic. Membership ensures that chiropractic in Ireland is represented at the highest level.

All members of the Chiropractic Association of Ireland have qualified from an accredited college, meaning they have acquired the necessary skills to practice according to guidelines set out by the World Health Organization,
WHO Guidelines on Basic Training and Safety in Chiropractic.
This ensures the training is of the highest possible standard and allows you the peace of mind, that you will receive the best possible care. Your health insurer will also be happy to reimburse you for some of the costs, knowing that your choice, ensures the safety and effectiveness; that chiropractic care provides.
