California Code of Regulations › Title 16 - Professional and Vocational Regulations › Division 4 - State Board of Chiropractic Examiners › Article 2 - Practice of Chiropractic › Section 312 - Illegal Practice

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Unlicensed individuals are not permitted to diagnose,
				  analyze, or perform a chiropractic adjustment. An "unlicensed individual" is
				  defined as any person, including a student or graduate of a chiropractic
				  institution, who does not hold a valid California chiropractic license. An
				  exemption is hereby created for student doctors participating in board approved
				  preceptorship programs.
The permitted activities of unlicensed individuals are as
				  follows:
(a) Unlicensed individuals
				may take the history of a patient. However, this activity is separate from the
				consultation which at all times must be conducted by the licensed
				doctor.
(b) Unlicensed individuals
				may conduct standard neurological, orthopedic, physical and chiropractic
				examinations, except they may not perform such examinations which require
				diagnostic or analytic interpretations nor may they render a conclusion either
				verbally or in writing regarding the patient's physical condition. As an
				example, unlicensed individuals may not perform evaluations of heart or lung
				soundings. Such individuals shall be at all times under the immediate and
				direct supervision of a licensed Doctor of Chiropractic.
"Immediate and direct supervision" means the licensed Doctor
				  of Chiropractic shall be at all times on the premises where the examinations
				  are being conducted. The licensed Doctor of Chiropractic shall be responsible
				  for the verification of the recorded findings and will be solely responsible
				  for rendering a conclusion based on the findings.
(c) Unlicensed individuals may administer
				physical therapy treatments as an adjunct to chiropractic adjustment, provided
				the physical therapy treatment is conducted under the adequate supervision of a
				licensed Doctor of Chiropractic. Adequate supervision shall include all of the
				following:
(1) The doctor shall be present in
				the same chiropractic facility with the unlicensed individual at least fifty
				percent of any work week or portion thereof the said individual is on duty
				unless this requirement has been waived by the board. The doctor shall be
				readily available to the said individual at all other times for advice,
				assistance and instruction.
(2) The
				doctor shall initially examine and prepare a written treatment program for a
				patient prior to the providing of physical therapy treatment by the unlicensed
				individual.
(3) The doctor shall
				provide periodic reevaluation of the treatment program and of the individual's
				performance in relation to the patient. "Periodic reevaluation" shall mean at
				least once every thirty days the patient is under active care.
(4) The doctor shall perform and record an
				evaluation of the patient and his or her response to treatment at the
				termination thereof.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
No unlicensed individual may own a chiropractic practice
				  regardless of the form in which the practice is established (individual
				  ownership, partnership, corporation, etc.). This does not preclude a layperson
				  from owning the facilities in which the practice is conducted, and the
				  equipment provided. It does prohibit a layperson from being in a position of
				  making and/or influencing decisions relating to diagnosis, or treatment of
				  patients which are matters requiring chiropractic licensure.
