Welcome to the International Chiropractors Association

The International Chiropractors Association (ICA) is here to serve the chiropractic community worldwide.  Established in 1926 in Davenport, Iowa, USA by Dr. B.J. Palmer, the ICA is the world’s oldest international chiropractic professional organization representing practitioners, students, chiropractic assistants, educators and lay persons globally.  As the organization established by the ‘developer’ of chiropractic, ICA is your voice to legislators and policymakers.  We work daily to protect and promote chiropractic as a  distinct health care profession predicated upon its unique science, art, and philosophy. We work with our colleagues across the health professions to promote policies and programs that tear down the long-standing barriers to access and parity in compensation. ICA promotes the advancement of high quality chiropractic research to increase the evidence-base and expand the information our doctors can share about what science says.  The ICA recognizes that the identification and correction of subluxations through the chiropractic adjustment is evidence based and evidence informed. We welcome all chiropractors to join the ICA and be a part of the organization Dr. B.J. Palmer founded to carry on his legacy on promoting chiropractic.
