Best of all, as a member of the WCA, you are helping to:

Protect B.J.s sacred trust by supporting efforts to make sure subluxation-based chiropractic will not only survive, but thrive. We do what it takes to protect you, your patients, and your profession! That means fighting attempts to turn chiropractic into a "medical therapy" or limit it to neuro-musculoskeletal conditions.

Finance the most aggressive lobbying effort in the profession. The WCA retains top legal advice, and has a strong presence in Ottawa. We defend the right of subluxation-based Chiropractors in Canada to use block fees and pre-payment plans where appropriate.

Bring chiropractic to the world. The WCA is working with the World Health Organization to develop standards of chiropractic safety and education, and "model" legislation that all nations can use when they recognize chiropractic as a separate and unique health care system. In addition, our representatives around the globe work to educate government leaders and the public to chiropractic’s true role in health and wellness.

Support subluxation research. Tired of research dollars being spent for studies that have nothing to do with subluxation? The WCA funds research on topics such as the possible link between vertebral subluxation and the immune system, and publishes the online Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research to provide scientific validity for what you as a chiropractor do.

Take a stand against MANDATORY vaccination. Like any other drug, vaccines pose risks. The WCA fights for the right of all people to be informed of those risks and decide for themselves whether they want their families – especially their children – subjected to them. We fight against vaccination as a requirement for education and employment.
