AUSTIN – A chiropractor in the Central Texas area plead guilty to solicitation and receipt of illegal remunerations regarding the treatment of injured federal workers and the federal workers compensation system under the US Department of Labor (DOL). A judge sentenced the chiropractor to 14 years in prison and insisted the chiropractor repay the nearly $18,000,000 in money he received as a result of his scam.

Reports indicate the chiropractor operated clinics in Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, Fort Worth, Corpus Christi, Killeen, and Westlake. It is said that the chiropractor solicited kickbacks in exchange for patient referrals.
