(b) "Manipulation" means an application of a resistive movement by applying a nonspecific force without the use of a thrust that is directed into a region and not into a focal point of the anatomy for the general purpose of restoring movement and reducing fixation.

(c) "Massage therapy," also called massology, means the systematic manual or mechanical mobilization of the soft tissue of the body by such movements as rubbing, kneading, pressing, rolling, slapping and tapping for the purpose of promoting circulation of the blood and lymph, relaxation of muscles, release from pain, restoration of metabolic balance, and the other benefits both physical and mental.

(3) Nothing herein contained shall allow a physician to:

(a) Perform surgical operations or practice obstetrics; or

(b) Prescribe, dispense, independently administer, distribute, or direct to a patient a drug, substance or product that:

(i) Under federal law is required, prior to being dispensed or delivered, to be labeled with any of the following statements:

2. "Rx only"; or

3. "Caution: Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian"; or

(ii) Is required by any applicable federal or state law, rule or regulation to be dispensed on prescription only or prescription drug order only, or is restricted to use by practitioners only.

(4) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (3) of this section, a chiropractic physician certified in clinical nutrition may independently administer prescription drug products as provided in section 54-716, Idaho Code.
