World Federation of Chiropractic

The World Federation of Chiropractic (WFC) (Template:Lang-fr; Template:Lang-es) is an international consulting body representing chiropractic to the international health care community.

Background

In September 1987, at a World Chiropractic Summit convened by the European Chiropractors' Union in London, England. There was agreement that a President's Committee be formed to inquire into, and report upon, the formation of a world federation representing national chiropractic associations. The President's Committee reported, and the World Federation of Chiropractic was established in Sydney, Australia on October 2, 1988 at a World Chiropractic Congress organized by the Chiropractor's Association of Australia. It was initially conceived by Dr. Gary Auerbach, DC, of Tucson, AZ, in consultation with Mr. David Chapman-Smith,a barrister practicing in Toronto, Canada.

The Federation today represents virtually every national chiropractic association in the world; now numbering some 90 Countries. The offices of the WFC are under the direction of David Chapman-Smith, who has served as Secretary-general of the WFC since its founding.
