When is it permissible for a licensee to solicit potential clients?

The appropriate response is that a licensee is permitted to solicit potential clients only with prior knowledge of the individual. This ensures that the solicitation is done respectfully and ethically, taking into account the potential client's comfort and privacy. By having prior knowledge, the licensee is also more likely to establish a rapport and a relevant basis for the solicitation, making it less intrusive and more genuine.

This principle underscores the importance of maintaining professional boundaries and relationships, ensuring that licensees approach individuals in a manner that is consistent with ethical standards in chiropractic practice. This helps to prevent unwanted solicitations and promotes a more positive relationship between practitioners and potential clients.
