Question 14632 — health professions

Summary

Mr. Didier Le Gac draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the consequences of the decree of February 13, 2018 relating to chiropractic training. This text defines benchmarks of activities, skills and training leading to the diploma allowing one to use the title of chiropractor. However, the annexes to this repository of activities now open up to chiropractors care and manipulation techniques joints previously reserved for the field of functional rehabilitation practiced by physiotherapists. Thus several harmful consequences risk being imposed on patients. First of all, a confusion between the field of physiotherapy and that of chiropractic is at stake since the text of the decree does not set a relevant limit of intervention between these professionals. The care pathway will therefore be made more complex for patients. Then it should be noted that physiotherapists are health professionals in a regulated profession and with university training, which is not the case for chiropractors. Part of the medical care procedures of physiotherapists will thus be transferred to non-health professionals. Finally, the decree of February 13, 2018 also risks establishing a de facto dual access regime to care for the same pathology: unconditional access to the chiropractor and access on medical prescription for the physiotherapist. He would therefore like to know how the Government intends to reassure physiotherapy professionals in the face of its risks and these legitimate questions.
