Judge rules in favor of horse chiropractor
Associated Press

JASPER, Ind. - A judge has ruled that a chiropractor reprimanded by the state last year for treating horses should not have been censured.
Pamela Ann Buss filed suit last January after the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners issued a verbal censure and ordered her to not treat animals.
Dubois Circuit Judge William Weikert ruled Friday that Buss was not acting outside the scope of her education, training and experience.
Indiana law states licensed chiropractors can manipulate the spines of individuals during treatment, said Miriam Price, Buss' attorney.
"The definition of `individual' is not limited to a human being," she said. "The law is vague on that point."
Shelly Johnson, the attorney representing the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners, had said the board interpreted the word "individual" as meaning a human being.
Weikert sided with Buss.
"It is this court's opinion, contrary to the board's findings, that Indiana laws do not address the issue whether chiropractors are allowed to treat animals," Weikert ruled.
He ruled that the board's reprimand and censure should be retracted and expunged from Buss' license and record.
Price said Buss was "very happy" with the judge's decision that she had violated no rules and with his order clearing her license and record.
Buss, a licensed chiropractor who is also certified by the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association, started practicing in Dubois County more than five years ago. She began treating animals in 2001.
