In the 1930s, the first chiropractic licensure laws were passed to protect the public from charlatans masquerading as chiropractors. With the passage of a Chiropractic Licensure Act in [[Louisiana]], chiropractic became legal in all 50 States. As with allopathic medicine, it is unlawful to practice chiropractic without a license.
Prospective chiropractors must graduate from chiropractic school and pass a rigorous examination administered by the National Board of Examiners. Before gaining admission to Chiropractic School, they must have a undergraduate degree and have completed required pre chiropractic coursework. Only then will a State Board of Examiners grant them a license to practice. Education does not end after licensure, as completion of continuing education is a prerequisite for license renewal.
==Scope of Practice==
The scope of practice for chiropractors varies by state.
