Who oversees chiropractic practice in Nevada?

The oversight of chiropractic practice in Nevada falls under the authority of the Nevada State Board of Chiropractic Examiners. This board is specifically established to regulate the practice of chiropractic within the state. Its responsibilities include licensing chiropractors, setting standards for practice, enforcing regulations, and addressing any complaints or disciplinary actions regarding licensed practitioners. The board ensures that chiropractic care delivered to the public meets established safety and professional standards.

The Nevada Department of Health, while it deals with various health-related entities, does not specifically oversee chiropractic practices. The Governor of Nevada does not directly manage the licensing or regulation of healthcare practitioners, including chiropractors, except in an overarching capacity regarding public health policy. Similarly, the Nevada Medical Association represents physicians and deals primarily with medical practice rather than chiropractic, illustrating that its focus is not on regulating chiropractic care.
