This New York bill (A 4706) modernizes chiropractic practice by expanding what licensed chiropractors can legally do. It specifically allows chiropractors to perform diagnostic clinical lab tests related to neuromuscular health, provide nutritional counseling, and dispense approved supplements like vitamins and minerals - activities previously restricted. The bill also clarifies that chiropractors may use X-rays, physical therapies, and certain non-invasive treatments while maintaining clear limits: they cannot prescribe drugs, treat infectious diseases, perform surgery, or use ionizing radiation beyond diagnostic X-rays. This directly affects licensed chiropractors and their patients in New York, updating their scope to include modern wellness and diagnostic practices within existing legal boundaries.
