A licensed Massage Therapist may assist with Ultrasound or electronic muscle stimulation (EMS) if they are registered as a Chiropractic Assistant. Is this statement true or false?

The statement is false because a licensed Massage Therapist is not permitted to assist with ultrasound or electronic muscle stimulation (EMS) unless they meet specific requirements outlined by the Arizona laws governing chiropractic practice. While being a registered Chiropractic Assistant may grant certain privileges, the regulations stipulate that only qualified chiropractic assistants operating under a licensed chiropractor can perform these procedures. This ensures that the use of such modalities adheres to professional standards and practices that are consistent with chiropractic care. Consequently, the role of a Massage Therapist does not automatically include the ability to use ultrasound or EMS without proper registration and training as a Chiropractic Assistant.
