What is required for a chiropractor to perform physical therapy modalities in Arizona?

In Arizona, a chiropractor is required to hold a valid chiropractic license to perform physical therapy modalities. This license signifies that the chiropractor has completed the necessary education and training in chiropractic care, which encompasses an understanding of various therapeutic techniques and modalities. The licensing process ensures that the chiropractor is qualified to safely and effectively provide care, including physical therapy, as part of their practice.

While certifications or additional training may enhance a chiropractor's skills or knowledge in specific modalities, they are not mandated by law for the practice of chiropractic, including physical therapy modalities. Therefore, a valid chiropractic license is the essential requirement to operate within the scope of chiropractic practice in Arizona.
