SUMMARY OF SCOPE OF PRACTICE:
(Contact State for precise definition by state law)
( a ) The practice of chiropractic is that patient health care discipline whose methodology is the adjustment and/or manipulation of the articulations of the spine and related structures. During the initial consultation and before commencing chiropractic care, a licensee shall identify a clinical condition warranting chiropractic treatment. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to prohibit a licensee from caring for chiropractic subluxation as determined by chiropractic analytical procedures. Chiropractic analysis which identifies the existence of a subluxation may be the basis for chiropractic care even in the absence of a subjective complaint or other objective findings; ( b ) A chiropractic diagnosis or analysis shall be based upon a chiropractic examination appropriate to the presenting patient. Should the evaluation indicate abnormality not generally recognized as amenable to chiropractic treatment, a licensee shall refer the patient to an appropriate health care provider. Nothing herein contained shall preclude a licensee from rendering concurrent and/or supportive chiropractic care to any patient so referred; ( c ) The following diagnostic and analytical procedures are within the scope of practice of a licensee: 1. The taking and ordering of X-rays limited to the osseous system; 2. The ordering, but not performing, of bioanalytical laboratory tests consistent with chiropractic practice; 3. The ordering or performing of reagent strip tests (dipstick urinalysis);
4. The ordering, but not performing of such other diagnostic or analytical tests consistent with chiropractic practice including, by way of example and not by way of limitation, computerized axial tomography (CO), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), bone scan and invasive electromyography (EMG); and, 5. The ordering or performing of such other diagnostic or analytical tests consistent with chiropractic practice including, by way of example and not by way of limitation, neurocalometer, thermography, and non-invasive muscle testing. ( d ) A licensee may offer general nutritional advice to a patient when such advice is incidental to the chiropractic care being provided. A licensee shall not offer nutritional advice as treatment for a specific disease, defect, or deformity. A licensee shall not, incidental to chiropractic care, sell, dispense or derive any financial benefit from the sale of vitamins, food products or nutritional supplements. A licensee shall not represent himself or herself as a nutritional consultant. ( e ) A licensee may order and/or administer physical modalities, where indicated, in conjunction with a spinal adjustment. ( f ) New regulations on diagnostic testing. (Contact Board office) |
