Being regulated means that chiropractors in Alberta must obey all legislative requirements set by the government for all health care providers.

Other health care providers that are regulated include nurses, dentists, medical doctors and optometrists.

The College of Chiropractors of Alberta (CCOA) is entrusted with enforcing the requirements set by government for all chiropractors. To be a chiropractor in Alberta, you must be a member, in good standing, with the CCOA.
