Abstract

Summary This article evaluates the need for further regulation of complementary medicine and considers, in the light of the Osteopaths Act and Chiropractors Act, whether statutory self-regulation is the way forward for all complementary therapies. An analysis of the aims of regulation reveals that well-devised, voluntary codes of practice with effective disciplinary mechanisms are the most appropriate form of regulation for the majority of therapies.
