The Canadian Chiropractic Association (CCA) is the national advocacy organization representing 8,000+ licensed Doctors of Chiropractic (DCs) in Canada.
Chiropractors help ease Canadians’ pain — enabling them to live the healthy, active lives they want.
As a form of treatment, an estimated 4.7 million adult Canadians turned to a chiropractor in 2019 for spine, muscle, and nervous system conditions. Chiropractic is a hands-on, non-invasive and drug-free practice.
The CCA has been the national voice for chiropractors since 1953 — promoting the unique value and expertise chiropractors offer. We work with other health care professional associations, governments, and private health insurers to make chiropractic care accessible to all Canadians who want it within a robust health care system that emphasizes care through integrated health care professional teams.
