Announcement from the FCLB

D. Brent Owens, DC

Recently we have become aware of certain companies citing the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards (FCLB) as endorsing their products or services directly or by implication.

The FCLB does not endorse any commercial products or services. We also do not give legal interpretations of the scope of practice or rules of any state.

Our mission is to provide educational and networking support to chiropractic licensing authorities and affiliated organizations. We have worked since 1933 toward a goal of unifying the licensure and educational standards nationally and internationally.

We publish a current directory of the licensure requirements for prospective students, doctors seeking reciprocity or endorsement, insurance companies and students applying for licensure.

If you are aware of any advertisements that cite the FCLB in this manner, we would appreciate you notifying our corporate offices so that we might take prompt action to stop this practice.

Please contact:
Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards
901 54th Avenue, Suite 101
Greeley, CO 80634
Phone: (303) 356-3500

Confronting the Threat to Chiropractic Education
Confronting the Threat to Chiropractic Education

The chiropractic profession is confronting one of the most significant federal regulatory threats it has faced in decades. A new U.S. Department of Education (ED) accountability framework – commonly referred to as the “Do No Harm” (DNH) regulation – could place many chiropractic programs at risk of losing access to federal financial aid (student loans), potentially reshaping the future of chiropractic education and workforce development across the United States.

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics
From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success. But while pain reduction is meaningful, it is an incomplete and often misleading representation of recovery. This has real consequences for patient adherence, long-term outcomes, and how conservative care is perceived within the broader healthcare system.
