In most cases, a chiropractor does not have the authority to write a prescription for legend medication. In some states, the chiropractor can write a a prescription for over the counter medication. In many states chiropractors can write prescriptions for physical therapy, diagnostic testing, or durable medical equipment. Some states, such as New Mexico, have been considering limited prescriptive authority for chiropractors.
