Pain, stiffness, fatigue — these are signals, not defects. When communication through the nervous system is restored, healing begins from the inside out.

Chiropractic helps you listen to what your body’s been saying all along.

It is important to look at where we have been, where we are now, and where we must go next.

In this video, ICA President Dr. Joe Betz addresses the question of the ICA's direction.

We developed a core principle, a single focus, to unite our work as we enter our second century. That principle is clear; to strengthen the ICA's role as the global voice for subluxation-based chiropractic, dedicated to patient choice, professional integrity, and the freedom to practice according to Chiropractic's founding tenets.

We invite every member and chiropractor who shares our mission to take a few minutes to revisit the documents that define our direction.

Dr. Betz gives an exciting update on FACTS, the Foundation for the Advancement of Chiropractic Tenets in Science. This is the ICA's 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing research in the chiropractic profession.

Next week, Dr. Betz will attend the PIE Conference. That's the Process of Integrating Evidence, and it's intended for complementary and integrative health educators, organized by the Association of Chiropractic Colleges and hosted at Parker University.

FACTS is a proud sponsor of this event. This conference brings together leaders in chiropractic education, research, and clinical practice to strengthen how evidence can be effectively integrated into education.

At FACTS, our mission is to advance chiropractic through high-quality research, collaboration, and education. Being a part of the PIE event allows us to connect with researchers, educators, and clinicians who share that same commitment to the scientific advancement of chiropractic care. These conversations help ensure that chiropractic continues to grow on a strong foundation of both science and principle.

We're grateful to Parker University for hosting this important event and for fostering an environment where discussion and ideas can move our profession forward.

When the body and nervous system are clear, we don’t just adapt to the world; we thrive in it. 🌎✨

Chiropractic isn’t only about pain or correction; it’s about preserving harmony between man, matter, and environment. When interference is removed, intelligence flows, and life expresses at its fullest potential.

When there is spinal misalignment, reduced movement, and nerve irritation, then the body’s ability to function and heal is compromised. Chiropractic care restores that connection, helping the body do what it’s designed to do: heal from within.

The Hulsebus family has been in chiropractic for generations, and we’re grateful for Dr. Brant’s continued engagement, especially with our Council on Fitness and Sports Health.

We want to see chiropractic available to many future generations and spread around the world. Agreed?

We are thrilled to announce the completion of year two of the Diplomate in Craniocervical Junction Procedures (DCCJP). This marks an important milestone for this year’s class. Building on the foundation of year one, the second year emphasized integration—bringing together advanced imaging interpretation, biomechanics, neurology, and case management into a cohesive framework for clinical application.

One of the highlights of this past year was the opportunity to present our research studies. (These are photos of a few of them!)

Council Public Relations Chair, Dr. Paulina N. Kaminski said, “These presentations allowed participants not only to deepen their own understanding but also to contribute to the growing body of knowledge in craniocervical junction procedures. Sharing this work among colleagues sparked valuable discussion and reinforced the importance of continuing to develop evidence-informed approaches in upper cervical chiropractic.

Year two also underscored the collaborative nature of the program. Through rigorous coursework, case analysis, and research presentations, doctors from diverse backgrounds came together with a shared goal: to advance their expertise and raise the standard of care for their patients.”

As the council and candidates look back, the challenges of the past year have been matched by the rewards: greater clinical clarity, refined technical skills, meaningful research contributions, and a stronger sense of professional community.

“As this cohort looks ahead to the final stage of the program, there is a shared sense of excitement and purpose. Year two has been demanding, but it has also been deeply rewarding, and it serves as a reminder of the vital role this work plays in improving the lives of patients worldwide,” said Dr. Kaminski.

Congratulations to Dr. Sherry McAllister, president of the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress, on the successful launch of her book.

Adjusted Reality has already made an incredible impact, quickly rising to Amazon Best Seller status and capturing the attention of readers across the country. Its success proves that people are ready for a new conversation about health, one that champions the power of chiropractic and whole-being care.

We are grateful for people and organizations like her that focus on educating the world that chiropractic is about "whole being" care, not just spinal pain resolution care.

If you would like a copy of Adjusted Reality, the ICA home office has a dozen copies. The proceeds support the ICA Council on Chiropractic Pediatrics. Email us at info@chiropractic.org to order.

🌍 Chiropractic is global in scope, rooted in service to all people, in every nation, without boundary or limit.

Every adjustment is a step toward restoring lives, families, and communities. Billions still need the care only chiropractic can provide.

At the ICA, we embrace this calling by protecting and advocating for the profession’s identity, advancing the science, growing the art, and nurturing the philosophy.

🔥 Imagine a firefighter trying to put out a blazing house fire with only a garden hose and limited pressure. 💦 Would it be enough to save everything a family owns? It’s not likely.

Your nervous system also deserves a full flow of information, especially if there is an acute issue or trauma to heal. ❌There is interference to healing if there is pressure or irritation on the nerves, slowing down communication.

In the 1970s, Dr. Chung Ha Suh and colleagues at the University of Colorado showed that just 𝟭𝟬𝗺𝗺𝗛𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲—undefinedabout the same as the weight of a dime resting on your hand—could reduce electrical transmission along a nerve by 𝟰𝟬–6𝟬%.

➡That’s exactly what happens with vertebral subluxations: subtle misalignments that interfere with nerve flow and compromise health.

Chiropractic adjustments restore clear pathways so your body can heal, adapt, and thrive at 100%, just the way it was designed to. 🌱
