Carol Bedford and H. Paul Bedford, Her Husband, Plaintiffs-Respondents v. Anthony L. Riello, D.C., Peter E…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the regulation N.J.A.C. 13:44E-1.1(a) permits chiropractors to adjust extra‑spinal structures, such as a knee, when the adjustment is shown to have a causal nexus to a spinal condition, rejecting the Appellate Division’s absolute prohibition; the case was remanded for a new trial. Justice ALBIN, dissenting in part, argued the regulation is ultra vires and should be invalidated prospectively.
