What is the Arizona Chiropractic Practice Act?

The Arizona Chiropractic Practice Act serves as the foundational legal framework that governs the practice of chiropractic care within the state. It establishes the standards for licensing, conduct, and the scope of practice for chiropractors, ensuring that practitioners adhere to specific professional and ethical guidelines. This act is essential for protecting public health and safety by ensuring that only qualified individuals provide chiropractic services.

While continuing education, ethical practices, and insurance coverage are important aspects of chiropractic practice, they fall under the broader regulations set forth by the Chiropractic Practice Act. Therefore, the act is more comprehensive, encompassing various responsibilities and requirements for practitioners, rather than focusing solely on one specific area such as education, ethics, or insurance.
