Why You Should Not Get Treated for Weight Loss by a Chiropractor

What You Need to Know Before You Sign Up for That "Cheap" Weight Loss Program

In recent months, New Jersey has seen a surge in chiropractors advertising “medical” weight loss programs—some even promoting injections, prescription appetite suppressants, and hormone therapy. At first glance, the pricing may seem attractive. But beneath the surface lies a serious issue that can put your health at risk.

❗ Chiropractors Are Not Licensed to Prescribe Medications
Let’s be clear: chiropractors do not have prescriptive authority in the state of New Jersey. That means they are not legally allowed to diagnose medical conditions or prescribe medications, including controlled substances like semaglutide, phentermine, or tirzepatide—which are commonly used in modern medical weight loss protocols.

Unfortunately, some chiropractors skirt this by operating under “borrowed” medical licenses—partnering with off-site or barely involved medical providers to legitimize their offerings. This practice isn’t just ethically questionable—it may be legally problematic and medically dangerous.

🚨 The Risk Behind "Cheap" Weight Loss
While low prices may be tempting, medical weight loss is not a spa treatment. You're dealing with powerful drugs, shifting hormones, and complex metabolic changes. Complications can include:

  • Dehydration
  • Electrolyte imbalances
  • Gallbladder disease
  • Heart palpitations
  • Severe hypoglycemia or GI issues
  • Hormonal dysregulation
  • Dangerous interactions with other medications

If something goes wrong in one of these makeshift weight loss “clinics,” will there be a licensed medical doctor or healthcare practitioner onsite to evaluate and intervene? 
Will they even recognize the signs of a complication early enough to act?

In many of these chiropractic setups, the answer is: NO.
