When can a chiropractor practice under the supervision of another licensed professional in Ohio?

A chiropractor in Ohio is allowed to practice under the supervision of another licensed professional if they have a formal collaborative agreement. This collaborative agreement is essential as it defines the scope of practice, roles, and responsibilities of both the chiropractor and the supervising professional. This structure ensures that patient care is coordinated and that chiropractic services are delivered in compliance with state regulations and standards.

In many states, including Ohio, the practice scope for chiropractors is well-defined, and collaboration with other healthcare professionals can enhance the holistic approach to patient care. This arrangement allows chiropractors to work effectively within a multidisciplinary team, improving patient outcomes and ensuring compliance with legal requirements.

Practicing solely during an internship, at any time they wish, or only in emergency situations does not reflect the legal framework surrounding chiropractic practice in Ohio. These scenarios lack the formal structure required for supervision, which is not permissible under Ohio law.
