Defining Chiropractic: Scope in Illinois

The Illinois Chiropractic Society is regularly contacted by our members, other doctors, students and legal professionals regarding the chiropractic scope of practice in Illinois. Questions range from when certain defining laws expire to what can be performed in the chiropractic office. Interestingly, as simple as it may seem, the scope of practice can be one of the more challenging definitions we face. This course was presented in July 2016 by Marc Abla, CAE and sponsored by ICS Corporate Club Members.
