A Kennewick chiropractor is accused of placing a concealed camera in his clinic that recorded a patient getting undressed and being massaged.

The Chiropractic Quality Assurance Commission of the Washington state Department of Health has charged Corey Scott Nay, of 24 Bones Chiropractic in Kennewick, with unprofessional conduct.

He has been given an opportunity to respond to the board before it considers any action related to his license to practice as a chiropractor.

He did not immediately return a call from the Tri-City Herald.

The statement of charges accuse Nay of concealing a motion-activated camera in one of the massage rooms of his clinic in 2018.

The camera recorded audio and video that was transmitted to his cell phone, according to the charge.

Recordings were made of a massage therapy patient that were not part of the patient’s treatment, according to the charge.

Nay has held a chiropractor license in Washington state since February 2014.

In other recent Department of Health actions related to health care providers:

▪ The license of Richland massage therapist has been suspended after he did not respond to legal documents from the Department of Health in September.

A patient of Joseph Taylor Moraniec reported to police in November 2023 that he had sexually touched her and not followed procedures to keep her body appropriately draped with a sheet during a massage, according to state documents.

When police obtained records from his previous employer in Seattle, they found that he was fired after similar complaints were made against him there in December 2022, according to a court document.

Moraniec faces a felony charge of health care provider indecent liberties in Benton County Superior Court.

▪ Krista Allison, an occupational therapist in Benton County, has agreed to pay a $3,000 fine and complete eight hours of continuing education in billing and documentation.

She was accused by the Department of Health of billing several patients for services she did not provide while working for a home health agency.
