Licensure

Licensing body
published The Chiropractic Practice Act names the Board of Chiropractic. Licensing is administered by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Public Health, Licensure Unit (Office of Rehabilitation & Community Services). If you practice chiropractic in Nebraska, you must be licensed as a chiropractor unless the exception in section 38-806 applies to you.Source: https://dhhs.ne.gov/licensure/Pages/Chiropractic.aspx · https://dhhs.ne.gov/licensure/Documents/Chiropractic.pdf · checked 2026-10-04
NBCE parts required
published The act names NBCE Parts I, II, III, IV and physiotherapy as one of two routes. The other route is an examination approved by the Board of Chiropractic. The application instructions ask for official documentation of your NBCE scores, and the application states a scaled score of at least 375 in each part. If you passed the examination more than three years before you apply and are not practicing when you apply, the act requires proof of continuing competency requirements approved by the board, completed within the three years before you apply. For an applicant who applies more than three years after passing the examination and is not practicing in another jurisdiction, the application requires the NBCE Special Purposes Examination for Chiropractic (SPEC) with a scaled score of at least 375 within three years of applying. For applicants licensed in another jurisdiction, the application also states a route through Parts I, II and physiotherapy together with the SPEC (see Endorsement or reciprocity).Source: https://dhhs.ne.gov/licensure/Documents/Chiropractic.pdf · https://dhhs.ne.gov/licensure/Documents/chiroapp.pdf · checked 2026-10-04
