Which action does NOT represent a ground for disciplinary action?

Offering discounts on services is considered a common business practice in many healthcare professions, including chiropractic care. This action is typically encouraged as a way to increase accessibility to care and attract patients. It does not inherently compromise patient trust, safety, or ethical standards, which are the primary concerns of disciplinary actions.

In contrast, the other actions—engaging in sexual intercourse with a patient, billing for procedures not provided, and false advertising—are serious violations of ethical standards and legal regulations within the chiropractic profession. These actions violate the trust between the chiropractor and the patient, can lead to significant harm, and are therefore grounds for disciplinary action. Any behavior that exploits the patient-practitioner relationship or misrepresents the services provided is taken very seriously by regulatory boards.
