True or False: Chiropractors can prescribe medications.

Chiropractors do not have the authority to prescribe medications in North Carolina and in most states across the United States. Their primary focus is on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders, primarily through manual adjustments, physical therapy, and other non-invasive techniques. Chiropractic care emphasizes the body's ability to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery.

While some practitioners in certain states may have limited rights to prescribe specific types of medications that are unrelated to traditional pharmaceuticals, this is not a standard practice for chiropractors overall. The clear demarcation of their role excludes the power to prescribe traditionally regulated medications, which remains the purview of licensed medical doctors and other healthcare providers with prescribing authority.
