Important Message from ICA President Dr. Joe Betz:
I’m making this video today to clear the air once and for all on a very important topic.
No merger with another association or organization is being planned, discussed, or even considered by the International Chiropractors Association.
I have served on the ICA Representative Assembly or the ICA Board for over 20 years, and the topic of merger has never been discussed by anyone — other than to stress that we would never consider it.
The ICA remains a fully independent professional organization.
Again, we are not merging with any other association, company, or entity.
Our mission, our values, and our governance all remain 100% intact and member-driven.
The rumors suggesting otherwise simply do not reflect reality.
They misrepresent the ICA’s strong and stable position within the chiropractic profession.
Over recent years, our leadership and members have worked hard to strengthen the ICA structure, update our Constitution, and modernize operations — all to ensure that this association remains independent, transparent, and accountable to our mission.
Not outside influences. We exist to protect chiropractic’s distinct, drug-free identity and to stand guard over the sacred trust handed down by our founders.
That commitment has not changed, and it will never change.
So if you’ve heard claims of a merger, you can confidently say it’s not true.
The ICA remains strong, united, and focused on advancing chiropractic around the globe.
