DESCRIPTION:For decades\, Texas Doctors of Chiropractic have watched col
 leagues in other states use a valuable diagnostic tool that was off-limits
  to them at home. That may be about to change.  On August 12\, 2026\, Tex
 as Attorney General Ken Paxton issued Opinion No. KP-0523\, concluding tha
 t the Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners has the legal authority to a
 dopt a rule allowing properly trained chiropractors to perform needle el
 ectromyography (nEMG) using nonincisive needles. The opinion resolves a 
 long-standing legal question that has kept nEMG out of reach for Texas D
 Cs\, even as the procedure remained a routine\, non-controversial part o
 f chiropractic practice in most of the rest of the country.  								\n		
 		\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n		
 		\n				\n					What Was the Legal Question? 				\n				\n					\n				\n		\n	
 				\n				\n				\n									Texas law has always barred chiropractors from 
 performing “incisive” or surgical procedures (anything that cuts tissu
 e). The open question was whether inserting a needle to perform an EMG cou
 nted as an incisive procedure\, or whether a needle can be “nonincisive
 ” depending on its design and how it’s used (the same logic that alrea
 dy permits chiropractic use of acupuncture needles).  The Attorney Genera
 l agreed with the position advanced by the Texas Chiropractic Association:
  the dividing line in Texas law is whether an instrument cuts tissue\, n
 ot simply whether a procedure involves a needle. Because nEMG can be per
 formed with a nonincisive needle\, and because EMG itself is fundamental
 ly a diagnostic tool for evaluating the condition of the muscular and ner
 vous systems\, the opinion concludes the procedure fits squarely within th
 e scope of chiropractic practice as the Texas Legislature has defined it.

 					\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n					Why This Matters 			
 	\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Dr. J. Donald Dishma
 n\, Professor of Neuroscience and Dean of Graduate Programs at Parker Univ
 ersity\, put the significance of this ruling in context:  “The Texas at
 torney general has recently ruled that it is within the scope of practice 
 for Doctors of Chiropractic to perform needle electromyography (nEMG) with
  additional training. Prior to this ruling\, DCs in Texas were permitted o
 nly to perform nerve conduction studies (NCS)\, which are non-invasive. DC
 s were previously barred from performing nEMG\, which is an invasive\, but
  vital portion of most electrodiagnostic evaluations. With this ruling\, T
 exas DCs with proper training can now enjoy the use of this valuable diagn
 ostic tool in their practices\, just as their colleagues in most other sta
 tes have enjoyed for decades.”  Nerve conduction studies alone only tel
 l part of the story when evaluating nerve and muscle disorders. nEMG fil
 ls in the rest\, helping clinicians distinguish between muscle-based and
  nerve-based causes of weakness\, and detecting abnormalities that don
 ’t show up in a standard physical exam. Pairing NCS with nEMG gives a
  chiropractor a far more complete electrodiagnostic picture\, closing a lo
 ng-standing gap between Texas DCs and their peers in states where nEMG h
 as already been established practice.  								\n				\n					\n				\n		\
 n					\n				\n				\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					
 \n				\n				\n					What Happens Next 				\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n	
 			\n				\n									It’s worth being precise about what KP-0523 does. T
 he opinion confirms that the Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners has th
 e authority to adopt a rule permitting nonincisive needle EMG. It does
  not authorize Texas chiropractors to begin performing the procedure. The
  Board still must go through its rulemaking process to define the requir
 ed training\, credentialing\, and equipment standards before nEMG become
 s an authorized part of chiropractic practice in Texas.  In other words: 
 the legal roadblock has been cleared\, but the road itself is still being 
 built. That process is expected to unfold over the coming months\, and Par
 ker University will be watching closely.  								\n				\n					\n				\n

 	\n				\n				\n					Parker University's Role 				\n				\n					\n				\n		\n
 					\n				\n				\n									As this new scope of practice takes shape\, ad
 vanced diagnostic training (including electrodiagnostics) will become a
 n increasingly important part of preparing the next generation of Texas ch
 iropractors. Parker University’s Doctor of Chiropractic program has long
  emphasized evidence-based\, clinically rigorous training\, and developmen
 ts like KP-0523 reinforce why that emphasis matters: the scope of chiropra
 ctic practice continues to expand toward more comprehensive\, data-driven 
 patient care.  								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n

DESCRIPTION:We are collecting interest to choose a time/date for this seme
 ster. If you are interested\, please reach out to sccgroups@utdallas.edu w
 ith your availability\, and group will begin once we have enough students 
 and a time/day is chosen.\n\nSPARK Femmes is a supportive\, nonjudgmental 
 space for women and femmes who are questioning or struggling with the ways
  they engage with sex and/or pornography. Because these concerns can carry
  especially intense shame\, stigma\, and isolation for women and femmes\, 
 the group is designed to offer a private\, affirming space where students 
 can speak openly without fear of judgment.\n\nParticipants will have oppor
 tunities to process their experiences\, explore what healthy sexuality mea
 ns for them\, and build practical tools for navigating urges\, distress\, 
 shame\, relationships\, and recovery. Whether this is an issue that has on
 ly recently become concerning or something you have been navigating for a 
 long time\, SPARK Femmes will meet you where you are.\n\nProcess groups ar
 e focused on the exploration and open processing and discussion of partici
 pants. Process groups are led by one of our therapists and typically more 
 open-ended and less structured around a specific lesson or topic for the d
 ay. Clients are required to complete a group screening to assess whether t
 he group matches their needs and interest.\n\nFor process groups\, if you 
 are not a current or recent client\, please make an appointment to get sta
 rted and note your interest in group therapy. You’ll complete intake pap
 erwork and have a 30-minute “IC” (individual consultation) with one of
  our therapists\, and then get scheduled for a brief screening meeting wit
 h the group’s leader.\n\nIf you are a current or recent client\, reach o
 ut to our Groups & Workshops Coordinator at sccgroups@utdallas.edu to sche
 dule a screening meeting.
