Glenerin Guidelines (April 1993)

Chiropractic Clinical Practice Guideline

In 1996 the CCA published the "Clinical Guidelines for Chiropractic Practice in Canada", commonly referred to as the Glenerin Guidelines.

In 2001 the CCA partnered with the Canadian Federation of Chiropractic Regulatory Boards in the development of a new process for creating guidelines for the chiropractic profession in Canada. The headings on the left of this page will link you to current information on that process.
