Chiropractic Assistant

Description
The law
does not prohibit an individual from rendering ancillary diagnostic
or therapeutic services as used in chiropractic practice, other
than the adjustive or manipulative techniques, if those services
are rendered under the supervision and control of a licensed chiropractor
as long as that individual has successfully completed a training
program recognized by the board. "Supervision and control" may
not be construed as requiring the personal presence of the supervising
and controlling chiropractor at the place where those services
are rendered, unless physical presence is necessary to provide
patient care of the same quality as provided by the chiropractor.
This chapter does not prohibit a chiropractor from delegating
to an employee certain activities relating to the care and treatment
being performed by custom and usage when those activities are
under the direct control of and in the presence of the chiropractor.
The chiropractor delegating those activities to an employee, to
a program graduate or to a participant in an approved training
program is legally liable for those activities performed by such
an individual and that individual is considered to be the chiropractor's
agent.
