Original Application

Welcome to Oklahoma! According to the Oklahoma Chiropractic Practice Act, it is mandatory that all persons who wish to represent themselves as a chiropractor, and/or practice chiropractic by offering chiropractic services to the public be licensed by this Board.

Felony crimes that substantially relate to the practice of chiropractic and pose a reasonable threat to public health and safety that would disqualify for licensure.
