In the united states there are many regulating boards that chiropractors adhere to.  

The national board of chiropractic examiners (NBCE) tests chiropractic students.  The NBCE gives out 5 board examinations to chiropractic students during their educational career.  Every chiropractor in the US must take these examinations.  These examinations are required by all state boards in the US in order to get licensed within a particular state.  

That brings us to the next level of boards, state boards.  State boards license chiropractors to practice in a particular state.  Often state boards require background testing, fingerprinting, a doctorate in chiropractic with transcripts of your education, letters of recommendation, passing a jurisprudence examination, and passing the 5 NBCE board examinations.  The state board is the board that regulates a chiropractor's practice and provides a license to practice.  The state board is the board that a patient may make a complaint to if the patient feels that the doctor is behaving unethically.

Finally there are specialist boards.  Chiropractors who have had additional training may sit before a specialist board's examination process to be given the title of being a chiropractic specialist.  Examples of this include the American Chiropractic Neurology Board or the American Chiropractic Board of Radiology.
