The Ohio State Chiropractic Board is a state government agency that
was established by the legislature in 1975 to regulate the practice
of chiropractic and to protect the health, safety and welfare of
the public. The Board also issues acupuncture certificates to qualified
chiropractic physicians.
All
receipts of the board are deposited in the Occupational and Professional
Licensing Fund. The Board is entirely self-supporting, in that the
aggregate of all fees collected each year exceeds the Board's biannual
legislative appropriation and operating expenditures.
The
Ohio Attorney General is the statutory legal counsel to the Board.
An Assistant Attorney General from the Health and Human Services
Section represents the Board in administrative hearings and court
proceedings.
