To choose a chiropractor for auto accident injuries in Arizona, you should first verify that the chiropractor is **licensed by the Arizona Board of Chiropractic Examiners**. Chiropractors must have graduated from an accredited chiropractic college, passed the four parts of the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) exams, completed the Arizona-specific jurisprudence exam with at least 75%, and undergone a criminal background check[1][2][4]. Licenses must be renewed annually with proof of at least 12 hours of continuing education, including new requirements for documentation and record-keeping hours starting in 2025[1][6]. It is essential to check with the Arizona Board for any disciplinary actions, as chiropractors with previous violations may not be in good standing[1][3].
Regarding **insurance and costs**, Arizona chiropractors are not required by the state to carry malpractice insurance, but those with private practices often do, alongside possible local business insurance requirements that vary by county or city[1]. Costs for chiropractic care after auto accidents vary widely across Arizona but typically include initial consultation fees, X-rays if needed, and treatment sessions; insurance policies through auto accident claims or health coverage may cover many costs. Patients should confirm that the chiropractor accepts their insurance following Arizona auto accident injury policies and inquire about billing processes for auto injury claims.
When selecting a chiropractor, **confirm license status** via the state chiropractic board website, ensuring no disciplinary issues exist. Ask the chiropractor about their experience specifically with auto accident injuries, treatment methods, how they handle insurance claims, and their approach to coordinating with other healthcare providers. Also, inquire about typical treatment duration and costs in your locality, since Arizona rules differ by region. Be aware that Arizona licenses do not automatically authorize physical medicine modalities or acupuncture; these require separate certification[3]. Overall, prioritize a licensed, experienced chiropractor who complies with Arizona’s regulatory requirements and has a clear policy on insurance and treatment costs to ensure proper care after an auto accident.
