Another noteworthy study was conducted in 1987 by the Swedish government’s Commission on Alternative Medicine. It reached conclusions consistent with the New Zealand and Australian studies and also stated that:

• Chiropractors with the Doctor of Chiropractic degree should become registered practitioners and be brought within the national insurance system.
• The university-level training of DCs is equivalent to Swedish medical training.
• DCs have competency in differential diagnosis and should be regulated on a primary care basis.
• Measures to improve cooperation between chiropractors, registered medical practitioners and physiotherapists are vital to the public interest.
