NO. Absolutely NOT. It doesn't matter what State you are in, if someone manipulates your spinal vertebrae, they are outside their scope of practice unless they are a licensed chiropractor. If someone did this to you, you have grounds for litigation. That means you can sue them, and if you can prove they did it, you willl have a good chance of winning a settlement.

To become an animal chiropractor (eg: an equine chiropractor), one must have a doctorate in chiropractic or a doctorate in veterinary medicine.Thus, the steps will be:1) Complete a 4 year university/college undergraduate degree (eg: Bachelors of Science)2) Complete a 4 year doctorate in either chiropractic medicine or veterinary medicine3) Pass national/regional board exams for veterinary or chiropractic medicine3) Complete a certification program in animal manipulation (200 additional hours)Once this is completed, you can call yourself a doctor of animal (eg: equine) chiropractic.There are also 1 and 2 year programs available for someone who has no university or college training, called equine therapy. This is like becoming a massage therapist for horses, and I believe they also teach a couple of generic manipulation techniques. Once you have completed this program you can call yourself an equine therapist (many of these people call themselves equine chiropractors, but it is illegal to do so).

Will a DO refer a patient to see an MD for manipulation?
Yes. A DO will refer a patient to see an MD who peforms manipulations or has a physical therapist work for him. Sometimes, MDs or DOs specialize in physiatry and will use manipulation in their specialty. Most DOs only do traditional medicine, surgery, and specialty medicine now and leave osteopathic manipulative medicine or treatment to MDs now. The only problem you may encounter is that when a DO refers a patient to an MD for osteopathic manipulative treatment, most insurances will not pay for it. If the DO refers you to a physical therapist or chiropractor, the insurances may or may not pay for it. Most likely and unfortunately, you will have to pay out of pocket! ----- Source?
