The New Mexico Board of Chiropractic Examiners Dr. Brad Fackrell

The New Mexico Board of Chiropractic Examiners has a new member. Dr. Brad Fackrell was just appointed to the Chiropractic Board by the Governor Susana Martinez. Dr, Fackrell, a graduate of Cleveland Chiropractic College has practiced in Rio Rancho for 17 years and is the owner of Straight Chiropractic (really, that is the name of his practice).

Six members have a seat on the New Mexico Board of Chiropractic Examiners, four chiropractors and public members. Dr. Fackrell’s appointment should add some spice to this southwestern board. Two of the board members are listed as holding Advanced Practice certification in the state. In 2014 Dr. Fackrell, along with a handful other DCs from across New Mexico, presented to a house committee their rationale on why New Mexico should not expand the formulary for advanced practice practicing chiropractors.

In 2012 New Mexico passed legislation creating a new designation for Chiropractors in the state, Advanced Practice. After post graduate training and passing an exam DCs in New Mexico could apply for this designation expanding their scope to include a formulary of prescriptive products. In 2013 and 2014 legislation was proposed to expand the formulary beyond over the counter medications, homeopathy vitamins and minerals. None of the bills were successful.

As the battleground over Chiropractic practice scope expands in the west, New Mexico should be a place to watch. This piece required a bit of editorial content, which we try to avoid. CE Cruncher holds no opinion on the scope of practice for Chiropractors. We just wish all Chiropractors could get along and focus on improving the profession.
