International Chiropractors Association
The International Chiropractors Association (ICA) is the world's oldest international chiropractic professional organization, established in 1926 by Dr. B.J. Palmer in Davenport, Iowa. We serve chiropractors, students, educators, and chiropractic assistants across more than 50 countries, working daily to protect and promote chiropractic as a distinct health care profession.
For 100 years, we've been your voice to legislators and policymakers. We advocate for policies that eliminate barriers to access and ensure parity in compensation. We promote high-quality research to expand the evidence base for chiropractic care, and we fight for the rights of practitioners and patients alike.
Whether you're a student just beginning your journey or an established practitioner, ICA offers networking opportunities, continuing education, post-graduate councils, and advocacy resources. Together, we're working toward a world where chiropractic care is available equitably in every country and community.
