Summary

published In Arizona, chiropractic licensure is governed by A.R.S. Title 32, Chapter 8; the board's own pages and its rules are unverified: the board's site and the Secretary of State's administrative code pages each returned HTTP 403 (a Cloudflare challenge page) on 2026-10-05. To be eligible for an examination and licensure, you shall be a graduate of a chiropractic college accredited as A.R.S. 32-921(B)(1) sets out that teaches a resident course of the length, and comprising the hours of resident study, that it sets, and you shall have an NBCE certificate of attainment for Part I and Part II and a score of three hundred seventy-five or more on Part III or IV; A.R.S. 32-921 states no pre-chiropractic requirement. The board shall grant a license to an applicant who meets all of the requirements of A.R.S. 32-922(D), which include at least seventy-five percent of all questions on the examination's subjects or a board approved passing score in an examination administered by a board approved testing facility, and at least seventy-five percent of the questions on jurisprudence; the examination shall be in English and practical in character and shall be conducted at a time and place designated by the board at least semiannually, and the board may waive examination in subjects you passed previously, with the percentage of correct answers the statute prescribes, in an NBCE examination. The act does not prevent any chiropractic student from participating in a preceptorship training program approved by the board, and what that approval requires is unverified: the board's site and the Secretary of State's administrative code pages each returned HTTP 403 on 2026-10-05. The practice includes the diagnosis, examination and treatment items in A.R.S. 32-925(A), including acupuncture. To practice a chiropractic specialty, a licensee shall be certified in that specialty by the board, and A.R.S. 32-925(B) states what a licensed doctor of chiropractic shall not do. The board by rule may require each licensee to complete up to twelve hours of continuing education each calendar year as a condition of licensure renewal, and what its rules set is unverified: the Secretary of State's administrative code pages returned HTTP 403 on 2026-10-05; if you are licensed elsewhere, the statute names reciprocity, which the board shall grant on the conditions of A.R.S. 32-922.01, and endorsement, which the board may grant on the conditions of A.R.S. 32-922.03, and each requires a grade of at least seventy-five percent on the Arizona jurisprudence examination.Source: https://www.azleg.gov/arsDetail/?title=32 · https://www.azleg.gov/viewdocument/?docName=https://www.azleg.gov/ars/32/00921.htm · https://www.azleg.gov/viewdocument/?docName=https://www.azleg.gov/ars/32/00922.htm · https://www.azleg.gov/viewdocument/?docName=https://www.azleg.gov/ars/32/00926.htm · https://www.azleg.gov/viewdocument/?docName=https://www.azleg.gov/ars/32/00925.htm · https://www.azleg.gov/viewdocument/?docName=https://www.azleg.gov/ars/32/00922-02.htm · https://www.azleg.gov/viewdocument/?docName=https://www.azleg.gov/ars/32/00931.htm · https://www.azleg.gov/viewdocument/?docName=https://www.azleg.gov/ars/32/00922-01.htm · https://www.azleg.gov/viewdocument/?docName=https://www.azleg.gov/ars/32/00922-03.htm · checked 2026-10-05
