    Conclusions:

    • Chiropractors are the most frequently consulted complementary health practitioners among general practice attendees.
    • Healthcare providers, particularly chiropractors, need to consider patients' overall health status, including non-musculoskeletal conditions.
    • Ensuring comprehensive management of patients seeking chiropractic care is essential.
