Any person who practices, or attempts to practice, chiropractic or who uses any of the terms or letters "Doctors of Chiropractic," "Chiropractor," "DC," or any other title or letters under any circumstances as to lead the public to believe that the person who so uses the terms is engaged in the practice of chiropractic, without having complied with the provisions of sections 148.01 to 148.104, is guilty of a gross misdemeanor; and, upon conviction, fined not less than $1,000 nor more than $10,000 or be imprisoned in the county jail for not less than 30 days nor more than six months or punished by both fine and imprisonment, in the discretion of the court. It is the duty of the county attorney of the county in which the person practices to prosecute. Nothing in sections 148.01 to 148.105 shall be considered as interfering with any person:
(1) licensed by a health-related licensing board, as defined in section 214.01, subdivision 2 , including psychological practitioners with respect to the use of hypnosis;
(2) registered or licensed by the commissioner of health under section 214.13; or
(3) engaged in other methods of healing regulated by law in the state of Minnesota; provided that the person confines activities within the scope of the license or other regulation and does not practice or attempt to practice chiropractic.
