American Chiropractic Rehabilitation Board

The American Chiropractic Rehabilitation Board (ACRB) was established in November 1995 with the primary objective of enhancing the education and training of Chiropractors. Our commitment is to ensure a high standard of excellence in the field of Chiropractic medicine through a rigorous certification process. This process provides assurance to both the physician and their patients of a specific standard of expertise. Our Board consists of members who have successfully completed the program, passed examinations, published research, and have been recommended by participating Chiropractic Colleges or Universities.

As part of our mission, the ACRB reviews the educational backgrounds of candidates, their relevant work experience, prerequisites for testing, individual histories of past or present felonies or convictions, examination performance, licensure, practice requirements for rehabilitation, and continual competency efforts. We establish and maintain tests and item pools from criteria-referenced content, set cut scores for pass or fail, maintain a register for active and inactive status for all ACRB level and Diplomate doctors, and certify Diplomates for applicants who have successfully completed ACRB levels, publication, and non-written requirements.
