PSA for Chiropractors and other medical professionals to stop listings they “do physical therapy” on their websites. That is not a service, it is a profession and can only be provided by a licensed physical therapist! Thanks :)
See excerpt below from the Iowa Code, which can be found at this link 🔗https://www.legis.iowa.gov/docs/code/148A.pdf
“148A.7 False use of titles prohibited.
1. A person or business entity , including the employees, agents, or representatives of the
business entity , shall not use in connection with that person’s or business entity’s business
activity the words “physical therapy”, “physical therapist”, “licensed physical therapist”,
“registered physical therapist”, “doctor of physical therapy”, “physical therapist assistant”,
“licensed physical therapist assistant”, “registered physical therapist assistant”, or the
letters “P . T .”, “L. P . T .”, “R. P . T .”, “D. P . T .”, “P . T . A.”, “L. P . T . A.”, “R. P . T . A.”, or any other
words, abbreviations, or insignia indicating or implying that physical therapy is provided or
supplied, unless such services are provided by or under the direction and supervision of a
physical therapist licensed pursuant to this chapter.”
