Foundation Chiropractic

The Arkansas Chiropractic Physicians Association (ACPA) stands as a steadfast advocate for both chiropractic professionals and the patients they serve across Arkansas. As a non-profit organization, we are deeply committed to fostering a healthcare landscape where Arkansans have the freedom to choose chiropractic care as part of their wellness journey. We work tirelessly to protect the rights of chiropractors, ensuring they can continue to deliver the high-quality, drug-free, and surgery-free treatments that have benefited countless individuals.

Our Mission and Values

Driven by a profound belief in the power of chiropractic care, the ACPA's mission is threefold: we strive to protect and enhance the chiropractic profession, promote the discipline and practice of chiropractic, and champion the values that define this exceptional healthcare approach. We prioritize ethical and honest representation of our profession within the legislative and public spheres. Our commitment extends to offering robust educational opportunities for both doctors and chiropractic assistants, equipping them with cutting-edge knowledge and the latest techniques in their field.

Empowering Chiropractors Through Advocacy

Recognizing the vital role chiropractic plays in the health and well-being of Arkansans, the ACPA actively participates in the legislative process. Our experienced lobbyist, Robbie Wills, a former Speaker of the Arkansas House of Representatives, ensures that the voices of chiropractors are heard, and that legislation promotes access to quality chiropractic services. Through Mr. Wills' expertise and tireless efforts, the ACPA has been instrumental in securing significant victories, including the 2018 change to the Medicaid law that eliminated the mandated medical referral for chiropractic services. This accomplishment has greatly expanded access to chiropractic care for underserved populations and exemplifies the ACPA's commitment to removing barriers to quality healthcare.

Building a Community of Support

Beyond legislative advocacy, the ACPA fosters a strong sense of community and support among its members. We recognize the unique challenges faced by new chiropractors establishing their practices and offer reduced membership dues for first and second-year practitioners. The ACPA also provides a valuable mentorship program, pairing experienced professionals with newer practitioners to offer guidance, support, and shared knowledge. This commitment to nurturing the next generation of chiropractic professionals strengthens the profession as a whole.

Continuing Education and Professional Development

The ACPA is dedicated to providing its members with high-quality continuing education opportunities. We understand that the field of chiropractic is constantly evolving, and staying abreast of the latest research, techniques, and best practices is crucial for providing optimal patient care. Through a carefully curated selection of seminars and workshops, the ACPA equips its members with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in their practice.

Promoting Wellness Through Education

The ACPA believes that an informed public is essential for a thriving chiropractic profession. We actively work to educate the public about the benefits of chiropractic care, its impressive safety record, and its efficacy in addressing a wide range of health concerns. Through public outreach programs, presentations, and educational materials, the ACPA strives to empower individuals to make informed decisions about their health and consider chiropractic as a valuable option for achieving optimal well-being.
