Summary

In Cyprus treatment is restricted to legally regulated personnel. Chiropractics is regulated.

Professionals and non-professionals

Medical Registration Law regulates what qualifications are needed to practise medical acts, and practising without qualification is an offence. Chiropractics is regulated and a new law is in preparation regulating acupuncturists and osteopaths. Other kinds of alternative treatment are not regulated. However, the practise of the authorities is to follow the amendments of the United Kingdom. If someone is allowed to practise under UK regulations, then they may also practise their alternative activities in Cyprus.
