What must a chiropractor do if they wish to practice under a different name?

They must notify the licensing board
They can use any name without restriction
They must change their legal name
They must stop practicing immediately

The correct answer is: They must notify the licensing board

When a chiropractor wishes to practice under a different name, notifying the licensing board is essential. This requirement is in place to ensure transparency and accountability within the profession. The licensing board needs to be informed of any changes to a practitioner’s practice name to maintain accurate records and ensure compliance with state regulations. This process often includes submitting documentation for approval, helping to uphold the integrity of the profession and protect patients by ensuring they are informed about who is providing their care. Using any name without restriction would undermine regulatory standards and could lead to misunderstandings or potential fraud. Changing one's legal name isn’t necessary unless the individual personally chooses to do so, and halting practice immediately is not a typical requirement when there are proper channels to follow. The notification process is designed to facilitate a smooth transition while remaining compliant with the laws governing chiropractic practice.
