Are out-of-state chiropractors allowed to practice in Ohio?

In Ohio, out-of-state chiropractors can practice within the state, but they must first obtain either a temporary or permanent license issued by the State Chiropractic Board. This requirement ensures that all practicing chiropractors in Ohio meet the state-specific educational, ethical, and professional standards necessary to provide safe and effective care.

The option that states they must undergo additional training does not accurately reflect the licensing process, as it is not a prerequisite for obtaining a license to practice in Ohio. Licensing processes typically recognize the education and training that chiropractors have already completed, provided it meets Ohio's criteria.

While some states may have special permits for out-of-state practitioners, Ohio's system does not operate under that framework; therefore, a special permit is not the appropriate means for an out-of-state chiropractor to practice. Lastly, stating that out-of-state chiropractors are restricted to their home state misrepresents the legal avenues available to them for practice in Ohio. They do have options to engage in chiropractic care legally, but it is contingent on obtaining the necessary licensing from Ohio authorities.
