What is NOT a permitted activity for unlicensed students in a chiropractic office?

Conducting physical examinations is not a permitted activity for unlicensed students in a chiropractic office because such examinations require clinical judgment and expertise that is beyond the scope of what students can perform without a license. In California, the law stipulates that only licensed practitioners are authorized to perform certain activities that involve diagnosing conditions or making clinical decisions about a patient's health. Physical examinations are integral to diagnosing and formulating treatment plans, and therefore must be conducted by a licensed chiropractor to ensure patient safety and legal compliance.

In contrast, developing x-rays, conducting history taking, and marking x-rays are activities that can be performed by unlicensed students under the supervision of a licensed chiropractor, as they do not involve making clinical judgments or direct patient diagnosis.
