Nevada chiropractic physicians must submit satisfactory proof of at least 36 hours of continuing education approved or endorsed by the Board, completed during the 24 months immediately preceding the renewal date — with licenses expiring at 11:59 p.m. on December 31 of each even-numbered year, under the Chiropractic Physicians' Board of Nevada (NRS 634.130). Nevada operates its own course-approval system: a course must appear on the Board's continuing education list with an approval number, and PACE recognition alone does not make a course acceptable. Chiropractors holding a dry needling certification complete an additional 4 hours. First-time renewers are exempt.
Always confirm your personal obligations with the Chiropractic Physicians' Board of Nevada. The requirements below reflect NRS Chapter 634, including NRS 634.130, and the Board's published renewal guidance.

A licensee in active practice within Nevada must submit satisfactory proof to the Board that, during the 24 months immediately preceding the renewal date, the licensee has attended at least 36 hours of continuing education which is approved or endorsed by the Board.
All active and inactive chiropractic physician licenses expire December 31 of even-numbered years and must be renewed on or before 11:59 p.m. that day. The renewal fee and all information required to complete the renewal must be submitted to the Board by January 1. Renewal is completed through the Board's online portal.
This is the detail that trips up chiropractors licensed in more than one state. Nevada runs its own course-approval system. Before taking a course, check the Board's Continuing Ed listing to confirm the course appears there with an approval number.
FCLB PACE recognition does not, by itself, make a course acceptable in Nevada. A provider may be PACE-recognized nationally and still have courses that carry no Nevada approval number — and it is the approval number, not the recognition, that the Board looks for.
Note also that the statute directs that the Board shall not approve or endorse a course of continuing education which is self-directed or conducted via home study. Approved online coursework carrying a Nevada approval number is a different thing from unapproved self-directed study — but it is one more reason to verify the approval number rather than assume. CCEDseminars courses approved for Nevada carry their Nevada approval number.
Nevada sets no requirement for how many credits must be earned in person versus online. Provided each course carries a Nevada approval number, the full 36 hours may be completed through approved online coursework — a meaningful advantage over neighbouring states that cap distance learning. Build your plan around approval status, not format.
Chiropractic physicians who hold a dry needling certification must complete 4 hours of continuing education in dry needling per renewal period, in addition to the 36-hour general requirement. This applies only to certificate holders — if you do not hold the credential, it does not apply to you.
First renewal is exempt. Chiropractic physicians renewing for the first time are not required to complete continuing education for that renewal cycle. The Board applies this by initial licensure year — for example, physicians whose initial license was received in 2025 or 2026 are not required to complete CE for the 2027/2028 renewal.
Do not send your certificates unless asked. While all chiropractic physicians other than first-time renewers must complete the required continuing education, you are not required to provide your certificates to the Board unless notified by the Board by mail or email. Keep them organised in case that notice arrives. (Some third-party CE guides state that Nevada certificates must be submitted directly with every renewal — the Board's own current guidance says otherwise.)
Medical waiver. The educational requirement may be waived by the Board if the licensee files a statement from a chiropractic physician, osteopathic physician or doctor of medicine certifying that the licensee suffered a serious or disabling illness or physical disability that prevented completion of continuing education during the preceding 24 months.
The Chiropractic Physicians' Board of Nevada — the CPBN, also referred to as the Nevada Board of Chiropractic Physicians — licenses chiropractic physicians and certifies chiropractic assistants in Nevada, approves continuing education courses, and administers biennial renewal. Nevada is a comparatively small licensure market: roughly 837 active chiropractic physician licenses alongside around 593 chiropractic assistants.

For license lookup, the renewal portal, the approved-course list and Board membership, go directly to the CPBN website. This page is a plain-language summary and is not a substitute for the Board's own guidance.
Nevada requires at least 36 hours of Board-approved continuing education during the 24 months immediately preceding the renewal date. Licenses expire at 11:59 p.m. on December 31 of each even-numbered year (NRS 634.130).
Not on PACE recognition alone. Nevada runs its own approval system — a course must appear on the Board's continuing education list with a Nevada approval number. A nationally PACE-recognized provider may still offer courses that carry no Nevada approval number, so check the listing before enrolling.
Nevada sets no requirement for how many credits must be in person versus online, so provided each course carries a Nevada approval number the full 36 hours may be completed online. Note that the statute directs the Board not to approve courses that are self-directed or conducted via home study, which is a further reason to verify the approval number rather than assume acceptance.
Yes, if you hold a dry needling certification. Those chiropractic physicians complete 4 hours of continuing education in dry needling per renewal period, in addition to the 36-hour general requirement.
Not routinely. You are not required to provide certificates to the Board unless you are notified by the Board by mail or email. Keep your documentation organised in case that notice arrives.
Yes. Chiropractic physicians renewing for the first time are not required to complete continuing education for that cycle. The Board applies this by initial licensure year — for instance, physicians initially licensed in 2025 or 2026 are not required to complete CE for the 2027/2028 renewal.
