March 7, 2014 — The American Chiropractic Association’s (ACA) House of Delegates (HOD) adopted language describing the profession’s approach to healthcare and the use of drugs by chiropractic physicians during its annual meeting Feb. 28- March 1 in Washington, D.C.
The statement was originally written and approved by the Chiropractic Summit, an umbrella leadership group of more than 40 prominent chiropractic organizations, during a meeting in Seattle in November.
The statement reads, in part:
Summit Promotes Drug-Free Approach: “The drug issue is a non-issue because no chiropractic organization in the Summit promotes the inclusion of prescription drug rights and all chiropractic organizations in the Summit support the drug-free approach to health care.”
