September 8, 2010 International Chiropractors Association
 
Chiropractors
The ICA is for everyone... the experienced D.C., the new D.C., the student doctor, full- and part-time faculty...

In 2010 the International Chiropractors Association is as committed to the rights of the chiropractic practitioner and his/her patients as it was seven decades ago. ICA welcomes all chiropractors who believe in and want:

  • maintenance of chiropractic's distinct identity as a drugless healing art
  • full integration of chiropractic with other health care professions--not subordination
  • freedom of choice in health care providers and informed consent
  • full inclusion of chiropractic in all public and private health care delivery programs
  • the need to educate policy makers regarding the non-duplicative, alternative approach chiropractic offers the consumer
  • clinical research to fully examine and document the effectiveness and potential of chiropractic science
  • the individual's right to freedom of choice and opposition to compulsory programs such as immunizations that infringe upon those rights
  • the development of guidelines based on full and open participation by all segments of the profession, not the "Mercy Guidelines" which imposes restrictions and liabilities on the practitioner and the profession.

If you share these values, then join ICA! It's the organization that works for chiropractic!
