Chiropractic is regulated in the “Law on Health Care” from 2009, article 20, Alternative Medicine, as a therapeutic system that does not follow the general medical methods that are accepted and may not have a scientific explanation for their effectiveness (13).
Treatments, conditions and manner of use of chiropractic shall be determined by order of the Minister of Health (13). Advertisement and practice of chiropractic unlicensed by MoH are prohibited (13).
There are no follow up regulations approved by MoH that regulates chiropractic. Chiropractic might still be governed by Albania's general regulation of CAM, which you can read about in our article on Albania.
