Why Chiropractors Are Adding Interventional Procedures

Forward-thinking chiropractors are expanding their treatment options to provide more comprehensive care and retain patients throughout their healing journey.

  • Complement Adjustments: Interventional procedures like trigger point injections can reduce muscle tension and inflammation, making chiropractic adjustments more effective and longer-lasting.
  • Patient Retention: Keep patients in your practice instead of referring them out. Offer complete pain management solutions under one roof for better continuity of care.
  • Expanded Service Offerings: Differentiate your practice by offering services competitors don't. NCV/EMG diagnostics and injection therapy set your clinic apart.
  • Better Patient Outcomes: Combining manual therapy with targeted injections addresses pain from multiple angles, leading to faster recovery and higher patient satisfaction.
  • Revenue Diversification: Add billable services to your practice. Diagnostic testing and procedures create additional revenue streams beyond traditional chiropractic care.

For Chiropractors

Scope of Practice for Chiropractors

Understanding your state's regulations is essential before expanding into interventional procedures.

State Regulations Vary Significantly

Chiropractic scope of practice differs dramatically from state to state. Some states permit chiropractors to perform injection therapy with proper training and certification, while others explicitly prohibit it. Before enrolling in injection-based courses, it is essential to verify your state chiropractic board's regulations regarding injectable procedures, prescribing authority, and any additional certifications required.

50 Different state regulations to consider

Check Your State Board

Contact your state chiropractic board before training. Ask about injection therapy, prescriptive authority, and continuing education requirements.

1st Step: verify regulations

Services Available in Many States

  • NCV/EMG diagnostic testing
  • Diagnostic ultrasound imaging
  • Trigger point dry needling
  • Physical therapy modalities
  • Nutritional counseling

States Allowing Injections

Several states including New Mexico, Oklahoma, and others allow properly trained chiropractors to perform certain injection procedures. Requirements typically include additional certification, training hours, and examination.

NCV/EMG for All States

Electrodiagnostic testing (NCV/EMG) is generally permitted for chiropractors in most states with proper training. This diagnostic service complements chiropractic care and creates additional revenue.

Training Prepares You

Even if your state currently restricts certain procedures, completing training positions you for future scope expansion. Many states are updating regulations to allow chiropractors additional treatment modalities. Having credentials ready ensures you can practice immediately when laws change.

Getting Started

Start with NCV/EMG training and diagnostic ultrasound, which are permitted in most states. If your state allows injection therapy, our joint injection and trigger point courses provide the hands-on training you need to perform procedures safely and effectively.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about pain management training for chiropractors.

AAOPM offers comprehensive training in interventional pain management procedures including joint injections (knee, shoulder, hip, SI joint), trigger point injections, nerve blocks, ultrasound-guided procedures, and NCV/EMG diagnostic testing. The procedures you can perform in practice depend on your state's scope of practice laws for chiropractors, so we recommend verifying your state regulations before enrolling.
Chiropractic scope of practice varies significantly by state. Some states like New Mexico and Oklahoma allow chiropractors to perform injection therapy with proper training and certification, while others do not permit injectable procedures. AAOPM strongly recommends checking your state chiropractic board regulations before enrolling in injection-based courses to understand what procedures you'll be able to perform.
All AAOPM courses are AAOPM certified. Additionally, select courses may award continuing education credits applicable to chiropractic license renewal depending on your state requirements. Upon successful completion, you receive an AAOPM Certificate of Completion documenting your training hours and procedures learned.
Interventional pain management procedures can significantly enhance chiropractic treatment outcomes. Trigger point injections reduce muscle tension and inflammation, potentially making adjustments more effective. Joint injections can decrease pain and swelling, allowing for better manual therapy. NCV/EMG diagnostics help identify nerve involvement to guide treatment. Together, these modalities provide comprehensive care that addresses pain from multiple angles.
Even if your state currently restricts injection procedures for chiropractors, training can still be valuable. Many states are actively expanding chiropractic scope of practice, and having credentials positions you to practice immediately when regulations change. Additionally, NCV/EMG diagnostic training and diagnostic ultrasound are typically permitted in most states and provide immediate practice value.
AAOPM provides ongoing support including access to our professional community, clinical resources, and faculty consultations.
