What Happens in Madison Affects Your Practice.
We are representing chiropractic at the Capitol — monitoring legislation, protecting your scope of practice, and advocating for policies that keep you practicing and supporting patients.
Tracking State Legislation
WCA tracks proposed state legislation that could affect chiropractic scope of practice, licensing requirements, insurance reimbursements, and regulatory standards — so you don’t have to.
Representing the Profession
WCA works directly with legislators, state agencies, and regulatory bodies to communicate the value of chiropractic care and protect the rights of Wisconsin practitioners.
Supporting Pro-Chiropractic Candidates
Through ChiroStrong, WCA’s political action conduit, member contributions support candidates who understand and champion chiropractic care at the Capitol.
Keeping Members Informed
When something happens that affects your practice, you’ll hear it from WCA first. Advocacy updates are delivered through member communications and posted to this page.
The WCA Shows Up for Chiropractic
Chiropractic care in Wisconsin doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Licensing requirements, insurance reimbursements, scope of practice decisions, and regulatory oversight are all shaped by policy — and policy is shaped by who shows up. The WCA shows up!
As the professional association for Wisconsin chiropractors, WCA monitors proposed legislation, works with elected officials and regulatory bodies, and advocates for the conditions that allow chiropractic professionals to serve their patients and grow their practices.
