What actions should be taken if a chiropractor changes their practice location?

When a chiropractor changes their practice location, it is essential to notify the Ohio Chiropractic Board of the new address. This requirement is in place to ensure that the board maintains an accurate and up-to-date record of licensed practitioners, which is vital for consumer protection and regulation purposes. By formally notifying the board, the chiropractor ensures compliance with state laws and helps maintain open communication with regulatory authorities, which can be important for issues such as licensure renewal or addressing any complaints.

The other options do not fulfill the necessary legal requirements. Simply not notifying anyone fails to meet the standards set forth by state regulations. Advertisements about the new location, while useful for attracting clients, do not satisfy the regulatory obligation to notify the board. Waiting for a client to inform the board is also inappropriate, as it places the responsibility on the client rather than the practitioner, undermining the chiropractor’s duty to adhere to licensing requirements. Thus, notifying the Ohio Chiropractic Board is the correct action to take when changing practice locations.
