Complaint Form

 

PLEASE PRINT OR TYPE IN BLACK INK:

The Board of Chiropractic Examiners (Board) investigates complaints filed against licensed and registered massage therapists to determine if there is a violation of the Maryland Massage Therapy law.  Whenever a complaint involves the practice of massage therapy by someone other than a licensed or registered massage therapist, the information is certainly of interest to the Board and should be forwarded as soon as possible.

 To assist in the processing of your complaint, include the correct names, addresses, both home and business telephone numbers of all persons named in the complaint.  If certain information is not known, please indicate on the form.

 All complaints are thoroughly reviewed and often referred for investigation.  Should the Board bring charges against a massage therapist, advance notice must be given to the therapist to allow time to respond to the complaint and prepare a defense.  Therefore, in most cases there will be a time lapse between filing of the complaint and scheduling a hearing.

 You will be notified in writing as to the outcome of your complaint.  Also, you may be called to testify as a witness if a Board hearing is scheduled.

 If there is more than one person filing this complaint, please use a separate form for each person.
