INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic led to unprecedented changes, as many state
and local governments enacted stay-at-home orders and non-essential businesses
were closed. State chiropractic licensing boards play an important role in
protecting the public via regulation of licensure and provision of guidance
regarding standards of practice, especially during times of change or
uncertainty. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to summarize the guidance
provided in each of the 50 United States, related to chiropractic practice during
the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: A review of the public facing websites of
governors and state chiropractic licensing boards was conducted in the United
States. Data were collected regarding the official guidance provided by each
state's chiropractic licensing board as well as the issuance of stay-at-home
orders and designations of essential personnel by state governors. Descriptive
statistics were used to report the findings from this project. RESULTS: Each of
the 50 state governor's websites and individual state chiropractic licensing
board's websites were surveyed. Stay-at-home or shelter-in-place orders were
issued in 86% of all states. Chiropractors were classified as essential providers
in 54% of states, non-essential in one state (2%), and no guidance was provided
in the remaining 44% of all states. Fourteen states (28%) recommended restricting
visits to only urgent cases and the remaining states (72%) provided no guidance.
Twenty-seven states (54%) provided information regarding protecting against
infectious disease and the remaining states (46%) provided no guidance.
Twenty-two states (44%) provided recommendations regarding chiropractic
telehealth and the remaining states (56%) provided no guidance. Seventeen states
(34%) altered license renewal requirements and eight states (16%) issued warnings
against advertising misleading or false information regarding spinal manipulation
and protection from COVID-19. CONCLUSION: State guidance during the COVID-19
pandemic was heterogenous, widely variability in accessibility, and often no
guidance was provided by state chiropractic licensing boards. Some state
chiropractic licensing boards chose to assemble guidance for licensees into a
single location, which we identified as a best practice for future situations
where changes in chiropractic practice must be quickly communicated.
