Lisa Boyer for Myself Brentwood I am a veterinarian licensed in the state of New Hampshire. I am well versed in chiropractic and other modalities. The wording of the bill only requires graduation from a program, not current professional licensure in the state so it is possible that a veterinarian or chiropractor with a suspended or revoked license could provide these services even though they are not licensed. In addition, veterinary chiropractic care should only be done by a non-veterinarian with the consent and indirect supervision of a licensed veterinarian (i.e. require veterinary referral). I have treated patients who have been to non-veterinary chiropractors and were severely injured or misdiagnosed. A chiropractor does not have the ability to do diagnostic radiographs or lab work prior to treatment in a safe manner, nor are they trained in the interpretation of these results. I am opposed to this bill in its entirety for these reasons. Respectfully submitted, Lisa Boyer DVM | Brentwood | Oppose | 968 | Jan 16, 2025 | |
