What our listing tags mean
Last updated October 2026
A practice shows this tag when Chirofinder staff have checked a doctor's chiropractic license against the issuing state board's public lookup and confirmed the name, license number, an active status and the expiration date. The tag names that doctor, comes off automatically when the license expires, and is never shown on a listing that carries a Recent Disciplinary Action tag.
Disclosure: license verification is offered to practices on our paid Verified Pro plan, so only subscribing practices can carry this tag. Paying doesn't earn it: the license check has to pass first, and payment never changes the result. A listing without the tag may still be fully licensed; it just hasn't been through our check. "Claimed by owner" on a listing only means the owner has confirmed they run the practice.
A practice carries this tag when Chirofinder has a sourced record of a licensing board action against the practitioner — every such record is documented, with a direct link to the board's own decision, on our Disciplinary Actions page. We don't apply this tag without a citable, official source.
How this is decided
Both tags are decided by a Chirofinder admin after a manual check, not by an automated score. They reflect a point-in-time review — license status and disciplinary records can change, so a tag's absence isn't a guarantee, and neither is its presence a final legal determination. Always confirm a practitioner's current license status directly with their state licensing board.
Questions or a correction
