ChiropracticThe “practice of chiropractic” or “practice as a chiropractor” means utilization of the relationship between the musculo-skeletal structures of the body, the spinal column and the nervous system in the restoration and maintenance of health, in connection with which patient care is conducted with due regard for first aid, hygienic, nutritional and rehabilitative procedures and the specific vertebral adjustment and manipulation of the articulations and adjacent tissues of the body. The chiropractor is authorized to examine, diagnose and assume responsibility for the care of patients. The practice of chiropractic does not permit the chiropractor to treat infectious, contagious or venereal disease, to perform surgery or acupuncture, or to prescribe or administer drugs for treatment, and roentgen rays shall be sued only for diagnostic purposes. The practice of chiropractic does not include the performance of abortions. An individual holding a valid, current certificate of registration to practice chiropractic is entitled to use the title “Doctor” or “Doctor of Chiropractic” and is a “physician” for the purposes of Chapter 4123 of the Revised Code (supervision of nursing personnel), and the program (workers’ compensation) established under Section 5111.02 of the Revised Code.
