NEW YORK STATE CHIROPRACTIC SCOPE MODERNIZATION
THE TIME IS NOW!
Modernized Chiropractic Scope Language in New York State
The NYSCA is working to modernize chiropractic scope language in New York State to better reflect the training, skills, and role of today's chiropractors. Modernization will help ensure that New Yorkers have access to safe, effective, and conservative chiropractic care.
What Scope Modernization Means for You
Modernizing chiropractic scope language in New York State would:
Clarify your ability to diagnose
The current ability of New York Chiropractors to provide a diagnosis rests in the interpretations rendered by the State Education Department.
Perform physical exams for non-patients
This includes scoliosis screenings, sports screening exams, pre-employment physicals, DOT physicals, FAA exams, and many other types of examinations which would fall within the Scope of Practice of a chiropractor.
Treat extremity complaints
Treatment of extremities without the need to relate it back to the spine opens a huge arena of practice and revenue.
Use of modern diagnostic imaging tools
including electrodiagnostic testing. A modernized scope could allow chiropractors to sit for fellowships in radiology and partner in radiology groups.
