Texas Chiropractors Face Scrutiny: A Drop in Disciplinary Actions Raises Concerns Texas, home to over seven thousand chiropractors, has seen a significant decline in public reports of disciplinary actions. From one hundred twenty-five cases in 2013 to just four in 2022, the state boards actions have plummeted. This drop coincides with a twenty nineteen rule change that hides minor cases, such as late license renewals, from public view. Patient advocates are pushing for full transparency, as chiropractors have faced cease-and-desist orders from the Texas Medical Board for actions like diagnosing diseases or pushing unapproved treatments. These actions are not reflected on the chiropractic site. Texas ranks second nationally with over one thousand eight hundred reports against chiropractors over thirty-five years. Despite attempts to pass tougher penalties and prevent medical board overlaps, the governor vetoed the bill. The board assures that every complaint is evaluated and backlogs are being cleared faster. They are open to fixes in the next session starting 2027 to ensure patient safety without confusion. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
