Oklahoma Board of Chiropractic Examiners 2026-61A

The Oklahoma Attorney General's Office issued a supervisory letter on November 2, 2026, responding to the Oklahoma Board of Chiropractic Examiners' request for a written opinion regarding proposed disciplinary action against Alvin Phillipose, D.C., holder of Chiropractic License No. 3611. The Board received two complaints, numbered 026-2026 and 030-2026, and convened a special meeting on October 2, 2026, to review the Advisory Committee's reports on both matters. Complaint 026-2026 was initiated by a patient who stated that Respondent recommended platelet injections for her cervical spine. The letter notes that such treatment has been ruled outside the scope of chiropractic practice by the Board, the Attorney General, and the courts, and that Respondent had previously been disciplined for similar conduct. Respondent also failed to respond to the complaint within the 30-day period required by chiropractic statutes. These facts are alleged to violate 59 O.S.2021, Section 161.12(B)(7) and OAC 140:15-7-5(6) and (8). Complaint 030-2026 was initiated by a second patient who reported that during a consultation, Respondent represented that she could receive stem cell injections for a quoted price. During a subsequent visit, the patient received stem cell and peptide injections, and the price continued to change. The patient also stated that other physicians informed her that Respondent was not licensed to perform those procedures. These facts are also alleged to violate 59 O.S.2021, Section 161.12(B)(7) and OAC 140:15-7-5(6) and (8). The Board proposes to summarily suspend Respondent's license and order Respondent to refrain from the practice of chiropractic pending a full hearing, invoking its authority under OAC 140-3-3-6 and 75 O.S.2021, Section 314.1, which authorize summary suspension where the Board finds that public health, safety, or welfare imperatively requires emergency action. The Attorney General's official opinion concludes that the Board has adequate support for the determination that the proposed summary suspension advances Oklahoma's policy to protect public health, safety, and welfare.
