Abstract

This legal research aims to determine and examine the implementation of empirical traditional health services for legal chiropractors and illegal chiropractors, as well as to analyze the civil liability of chiropractors if there are indications of civil malpractice towards clients. This research is presented descriptively with juridical-empirical method, and is conducted through field research and library research. The primary data was obtained through interviews from field research to obtain primary data in the form of information from respondents and source person. The secondary data was acquired through library research from reviewing and combining legal materials and literary sources. There are two conclusions that can be drawn from this research. First, Registered Letter for Traditional Healers (STPT) is a legal requirement for traditional healers, which is aimed to prioritize the legal protection for the safety of traditional health care. Apart from STPT, implementing written informed consent is also a form of protecting the client's right to health, namely the right to refuse traditional health care. Second, traditional healers are obliged to be responsible by providing material and immaterial compensation if they are proven to have committed civil malpractice against clients. Civil malpractice based on unlawful acts occurs if a traditional healers makes a mistake in traditional health care which harms the client, while civil malpractice based on a breach of contract occurs if a traditional healers does not fulfill the clauses in a therapeutic agreements.
