Interested in providing a new service, like Department of Transportation (DOT) exams or school athletic participation / return-to-play exams? What if you’d like to expand your practice toolbox by incorporating dry needling, venipuncture or even animal chiropractic; does your state allow it? Perhaps you’re advising a prospective chiropractic student who doesn't know whether a bachelor’s degree is required for licensure in your state.
The answers to these questions and more are available on Chiropractic Future’s Government Affairs Hub, which features an interactive chart that allows you to “easily compare details about the chiropractic profession by selecting a state or choosing a topic for cross-referencing across multiple states.”
In addition to the above topics, the chart provides direction on whether your state – or one you might be considering relocating your practice to – accepts PACE-approved continuing education; requires additional training for medical and rehab procedures; allows you to provide school enrollment exams; or includes manipulation under anesthesia (MUA), acupuncture, extremity adjusting, intraoral TMJ adjusting, internal coccyx adjusting, or casting in chiropractic scope of practice.

You became a chiropractor to serve people, not an insurance company. You deserve to run a business that aligns with your values, supports your family and lights you up. Cash-based care isn’t just a pricing model – it’s a philosophy rooted in freedom, trust and respect for your patients and for yourself. Here's why - and how - to do it.
Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCU) is expanding its doctor of chiropractic program to a satellite campus in Phoenix, Ariz., with a January 2026 date for the inaugural class of students to begin instruction. With the expansion, SCU takes an important step in filling a geographic void in chiropractic education in the West, according to the university.
At this very moment in history, the public is awakening. They’re questioning what they’ve been told about health – what they eat, how they think, how they manage stress, and what they’ve been prescribed. The recently released MAHA Report is a clarion call for transformation. As the public seeks answers beyond pills and procedures, chiropractic is poised to offer something more: whole-being care.
