Frequently Asked Questions

01

Is a written contract required for chiropractors in Ohio?

While Ohio recognizes oral agreements under at-will employment, Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 1335.15 requires any employment contract lasting more than one year to be in writing. For Chiropractic practices, a written agreement is essential for defining malpractice obligations and patient record ownership under HIPAA.

02

How does Ohio law handle non-compete clauses for Chiropractors?

Ohio enforces non-compete clauses if they are reasonable in duration and geographic scope. However, they must not impose undue hardship on the Chiropractor or be injurious to the public interest. Given the specialized nature of spinal care, these clauses are scrutinized for their impact on patient access to care.

03

Does this contract cover HIPAA and Chiropractic Board compliance?

Yes. The contract includes provisions for maintaining patient confidentiality in accordance with federal HIPAA regulations and ensures the Chiropractor remains in good standing with the Ohio State Chiropractic Board.
