Legal Question in Personal Injury in Illinois
If a chiropractor is not yet licensed and he is performing a private practices can he get in legal trouble? Would it matter that all his patient know this and willingly agree to have the chiropractor perform his newly learned techniques on them? Would this possibly require the patient to sign some paperwork in order to avoid legal issue if the technique injures them?

If the person is not licensed by the state to be a DC, then he is not a chiropractor and holding himself as such-regardless of whether his patients know it or not--is in violation of the State Law. A criminal violation cannot be signed away by persons that the law is designed to protect. You should report that "chiropractor" to the State's Attorney General's office.
No license, no practice, regardless of what papers are signed. Definately illegal.
