How does a chiropractor become licensed and registered to practice?
By law, every province requires chiropractors to earn a license before they can practice. Graduating chiropractors must attain passing scores on national examinations administered by the Canadian Chiropractic Examining Board (CCEB) and provincial board exams. Chiropractic is a self-governing profession, which means that Doctors are bound to a professional code of ethics through national and provincial chiropractic licensing bodies, such as the Nova Scotia College of Chiropractors. This self-regulating and disciplinary process ensures that the public’s health concerns are the chiropractic profession’s highest priority.
