QuestionDoes the chiropractic code require that chiropractic adjustments/manipulations be a major portion of the treatment rendered by the chiropractor. If so, please proved the code section.
Thank you.

AnswerA chiropractors scope of practice starts with chiropractic, which is usually hands on adjusting or manipulation. Some states limit scope of practice to this; others will allow therapies, and yet others will allow more. Chiropractic code is usually dictated state to state, with boards overseeing scope of practice.
