In California, chiropractors are required to keep patient medical records for a minimum of seven years from the date of the last treatment. For minors, records must be maintained until the patient turns 18, plus an additional seven years. However, it's advisable for practitioners to retain records longer for legal and continuity of care purposes. Always check with specific chiropractic offices, as policies may vary.
