Just like any doctor that is expected to adhere to these high standards of care, a chiropractor is expected to adhere to these standards as well. If, on the other hand, the chiropractor crosses the line and invades the scope of a different practice, such as that of a medical physician, the chiropractor will be held liable to the amount of care relevant to a specialist in the area in which he or she crossed over in.
