A Calgary chiropractor who faced discipline from the Alberta regulatory board for not wearing a mask while treating patients during the COVID-19 pandemic will be able to keep practising after an agreement was reached in his disciplinary case.

In May 2020, the College of Chiropractors in Alberta (CCOA) introduced a mask mandate for all provincial chiropractors as a response to the pandemic, according to the Liberty Coalition of Canada (LCC). The organization provided legal advice in the case in support of the chiropractor, Curtis Wall.
