Chiropractic Schema
Schema.org implementation for chiropractic practices — MedicalBusiness or ProfessionalService @type with GCC as memberOf, hasOfferCatalog for treatments, openingHoursSpecification, and individual Person schema with hasCredential for GCC registration.
Definition
There is no dedicated Chiropractor schema.org type — the recommended approach is MedicalBusiness (for practices with a strong clinical NHS-adjacent focus) or ProfessionalService (for broader wellness-focused practices), with the General Chiropractic Council as the primary memberOf reference. Key properties: (1) **@type**: MedicalBusiness or ProfessionalService — MedicalBusiness preferred for UK chiropractic practices with clinical focus; (2) **memberOf**: GCC (url: gcc-uk.org) and relevant professional body (BCA, MCA, SCA) as Organization objects; (3) **hasOfferCatalog**: list each treatment as Offer → Service — "Back pain assessment", "Neck pain and headache treatment", "Sports injury chiropractic", "Pregnancy chiropractic", "Paediatric chiropractic", "Wellness care"; (4) **openingHoursSpecification**: days and times, critical for Local Pack display; (5) **aggregateRating**: pulled from Google, Doctify, or Trustpilot; (6) **Individual Person schema**: on each chiropractor\'s profile page — GCC registration number in hasCredential, DC qualification, postgraduate certifications; (7) Must be server-rendered — JavaScript-injected chiropractic schema is not eligible for Rich Results.
Why it matters for SEO
Correctly structured MedicalBusiness schema with GCC memberOf allows Google to associate the chiropractic practice with its regulatory body, improving E-E-A-T evaluation. hasOfferCatalog makes individual chiropractic treatments machine-readable, increasing eligibility for rich result formats. Server-rendering is mandatory.
