LICENSING OF CHIROPRACTIC PRACTICE
50.
Ms Indranee Rajah asked the Minister for Health whether his Ministry will review the practice of chiropractic and consider the licensing of chiropractic practice as well as regulation of the chiropractic profession.
Mr Khaw Boon Wan: Chiropractic is currently not regulated in Singapore, as it is not widely used by Singaporeans. Our patients are well served by western trained doctors and TCM physicians.
There are however a few chiropractic practitioners in Singapore, mostly foreigners on employment pass. MOH has provided MOM with a list of chiropractic qualifications which are registrable in Australia, Canada, UK and USA for their reference.
MOH has regular dialogue sessions with the chiropractic community to gather feedback on the practice and to encourage them to self-regulate.
