Cork pain relief centre cited for misleading advert due to having unqualified doctor

The credentials of the principal person in charge of Haven Pain Relief Centre says he is a 'chiropractic doctor' which is not a medical doctor

In Ireland, chiropractors are not medical doctors and cannot prescribe medication. File picture

An advertisement by the Cork-based Haven Pain Relief Centre, which claimed it had a “pain specialist doctor”, has been deemed “misleading” by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) as the credentials of the professional listed would not qualify them to practice medicine in Ireland.

Haven Pain Relief Centre is a chiropractic centre in Douglas and the credentials of the principal person in charge of the centre says he is a “chiropractic doctor” which is not a medical doctor.
