Legislative Policy
In order to protect the interests of thousands of chiropractors
and their patients, it is the position of the World Chiropractic
Alliance that proposals regarding chiropractic submitted to any
legislative or administrative body in the world, must include the
following provisions:
 | Scope of practice determined by state law for the correction
of vertebral subluxation(s) and/or care for
neuromusculoskeletal conditions; |
| Recognition of vertebral subluxation as a reason for
chiropractic care; |
| Exclusion of drugs and surgery; |
| Direct access to chiropractic care, without referral by any
other provider; and |
| Participation in government-sponsored program be open to any
willing licensed chiropractor. |
It is not the intent of the World Chiropractic Alliance to
exclude other services performed by some chiropractors. Therefore,
it will not oppose the inclusion of additional provisions once
these minimal requirements are met. The World Chiropractic
Alliance may be compelled to oppose the passage or implementation
of any proposal which does not comply with these five specified
provisions.
