In addition to hands-on manipulation of the spine and other body parts, you are also versed at recommending courses of treatment, arranging for diagnostics and counseling patients on nutrition, exercise, sleeping habits, and stress management, many using a decidedly holistic approach to healing as compared to other healthcare practitioners.

About Complaints

The Board of Chiropractic Examiners protects consumers through licensing and enforcement functions. The Board has the authority to require licensees to abide by provisions of the Chiropractic Initiative Act, Business and Professions Code, and those sections of the California Code of Regulations relating to the practice of chiropractic. Most Board actions alleging violations of these laws result from written complaints from a variety of sources.

All written complaints received by the Board are reviewed by the Enforcement Unit to determine whether the Board has jurisdiction, and if so, to prioritize the complaints.

Complaints alleging sexual misconduct, gross negligence/incompetence and insurance fraud are given priority attention and may be referred immediately to investigation. The Board also has jurisdiction over other categories of complaints, including but are not limited to, conviction of a criminal offense, deceptive or misleading advertising, and unlicensed practice.

The Board does not have jurisdiction in fee or billing disputes, general business practices, and personality conflicts. However, other civil channels are available to handle these issues.

How the Board Handles A Complaint

Following receipt of a complaint, the Board mails a notice of receipt to the complainant. Each complaint is reviewed to determine the course of action for the alleged violation or whether the Board has jurisdiction. California law requires the Board to have clear and convincing evidence of a violation in order to sustain disciplinary action. Consequently, the Board’s investigative process can be lengthy.

Substantiated Complaints

If a complaint is substantiated after review or investigation, there are different actions that can be taken against the chiropractic license. Formal disciplinary action may range from a public reprimand, probation or even license revocation. As an alternative to formal discipline, the Board can issue a citation. Citations are considered sanctions and are issued in cases involving minor violations of a law or regulation governing the practice of chiropractic. The Board has authority to issue citations to chiropractors for specified violations of law. Citations are not formal discipline, although they constitute a public record of the action taken.
