Which of the following can lead to the suspension or revocation of a DC's license?

Violating state law is a direct pathway to the suspension or revocation of a Doctor of Chiropractic's (DC) license. The chiropractic profession is governed by specific state regulations and laws that are established to ensure public safety and ethical practice. When a DC breaches these laws—whether through fraudulent practices, unethical behavior, or failure to comply with regulatory standards—they not only compromise the trust placed in them by patients but also jeopardize their professional standing.

State boards of chiropractic examiners have the authority to investigate violations of the law and can impose serious consequences, including suspension or revocation of a license. These laws cover a wide range of issues, including, but not limited to, improper documentation, failure to maintain standards of care, and criminal activities. Therefore, adherence to state law is crucial for maintaining not only one’s license but also public trust in the chiropractic profession.
