Pennsylvania Senate Bill 1330 amends the state's Chiropractic Practice Act to update regulations for chiropractors and expand the scope of their certified services. The bill introduces new certifications allowing practitioners to perform dry needling, treat animals, and manage concussions for student athletes. It also replaces the old examination requirements with a new system for continuing education, adds rules for using artificial intelligence in adjustments, and clarifies definitions for various chiropractic procedures. These changes aim to modernize the legal framework governing the profession while maintaining oversight through the State Board of Chiropractic.
