In short, NO.

Although, this may be changing to some extent. Although many chiropractors pride themselves on taking a drugless approach to health, in New Mexico chiropractors are on their way to having some limited prescription privileges (only after advanced training and certification). Further information is detailed below:

CERTIFIED ADVANCED PRACTICE CHIROPRACTIC PHYSICIAN AUTHORITY DEFINED -

A certified advanced practice chiropractic physician may prescribe, dispense, and administer herbal medicines, homeopathic medicines, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, glandular products, naturally derived substances, protomorphogens, live cell products, gerovital, amino acids, dietary supplements, foods for special dietary use, bioidentical hormones, sterile water, sterile saline, sarapin or its generic, caffeine, procaine, oxygen, epinephrine, and vapocoolants. (See related links)

So, while it appears Chiropractors have some limited prescription privileges forthcoming, until a formulary is approved by the NM medical board (within some very stringent rules set down in HB 275 itself), the actual meaning of "prescriptive privileges" will be unclear. It should be noted, that any and all "dangerous substances" on the formulary have to be approved by the New Mexical Medical Board.

In Indiana and most states a Chiropractor can and should order blood work. As for meds, if the profession will stop fighting with itself there is a possiblity in the future.

Can a chiropractor prescribe pain medication?

Yes. There are different classes of pain medications. Those that are addictive, such as narcotics, are regulated by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and require a specific license in order to be prescribed. Anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen and Naproxen do not require a DEA prescribing license. If a doctor is licensed to practice medicine, they are able to prescribe anti-inflammatories and other, non-addictive pain medications. Most Physicians and Nurse Practitioners have a DEA license, so they are able to prescribe most types of regulated narcotics. Some narcotics are strong enough that their use is usually monitored by a Pain Specialist, which may require a referral from your doctor.
