(2) It is unlawful for any person to practice or to offer to practice chiropractic in the state of Colorado, or to use in connection with his name or business or otherwise to assume, use, or advertise any title or description which will or which reasonably might be expected to mislead the public into believing he is a doctor of chiropractic, unless such person has been duly licensed under the provisions of this article. Anyone who holds himself out to the public as a doctor of chiropractic without qualifying for proper licensing under this article and without submitting to the regulations provided in this article endangers thereby the public life, health, property, and welfare.
