Chiropractic Licensure

Chiropractic licensure is a formal certification process that allows individuals to practice as licensed chiropractors. It involves completing specific education requirements, typically a Doctor of Chiropractic degree, and passing national and state or regional exams to demonstrate competence in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions, especially those related to the spine. Licensure ensures practitioners meet professional standards for safety and effectiveness, enabling them to provide chiropractic care legally. Each jurisdiction has its own licensing board that grants, renews, or suspends licenses based on compliance with required education, exam performance, and ongoing professional development.
