Can a chiropractor inject botox in the state of Florida?

Ensure you are accepting treatment by a highly skilled and experienced injector. Botox should only be administered by highly trained personal. Hope this helps.

State laws determine who injects medications.  I suggest going to a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon, as they have the most training and experience for this type of treatment.  Do not skimp on your health.  Best, Dr. Emer.

The Florida statutes for injections are vague and subject to interpretation. The answer to your question lies in the wording of the medical practice act for the State of Florida, which you can access directly at the Board of Medicine website for the State of Florida. This a legal question best answered by an attorney familiar with the medical practice Act for the state. It's best to seek out Board Certified MD,DO physicians-experienced in the administration of these substances.

In the state of Florida, MD, DO, DPM, DDS, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, or CRNA can inject. To be proficient in botox, an injector must combine scientific understanding of the facial anatomy plus the artistic ability to convert a patient's request into the desired outcome.

Botox is meant to be a prescription treatment. It's administration is the practice of medicine. It is only ambiguous because of the lack of physicians voice on this subject. Botox is a neurotoxin with a black label warning. It is widely abused and even administered by unqualified providers at mall and parties where alcohol is consumed. The special interest lobby from allergen, and allied health organizations in the absence of a strong physician voice have created intentional ambiguity in the language. It's no wonder there are so many questions and complaints about various medical injectables on these forums. Would physicians object to patients getting chemotherapy or even antibiotics at a hair salon in the mall? Why is Botox different?

Check with the state medical board for the answer. However, just because someone CAN do something doesn't mean it is a good option to choose. Botox requires understanding of facial anatomy that only board certified dermatologists, plastic surgeons, ENT, and eye doctors get. 

NO! The injection of any substance or medical solutions can ONLY be done in the State of Florida by an MD, DO, DPM, DDS, nurse practitioner, CRNA, PA...
