Abstract
Chiropractic treatment in Hong Kong has demonstrated high effectiveness in cases where traditional therapies have failed, with minimal associated adverse events. The growing aging population, prevalence of disabilities, and musculoskeletal conditions have increased the demand for rehabilitation services. Over the past few years, the chiropractic profession has raised awareness of treatment benefits. Providing high-quality training and education, licensing/regulation, interprofessional collaboration, increased accessibility, and research are factors influencing the chiropractic workforce and meeting the population's health needs. To achieve the number of chiropractors required by Hong Kong for adequate service according to international standards, future efforts could include increased licensing/registration efficiency, expanded coverage of public/private insurance, system integration/interprofessional collaboration, public education, and local research to build evidence and to support workforce growth and acceptance.
