About the TCA
The Texas Chiropractic Association (TCA) is Texas largest professional organization representing Doctors of Chiropractic. Established in 1916, TCA has been growing strong ever since with doctors from across the entire state joining forces to protect, promote and improve the chiropractic profession for a strong and healthy future for all.
Your Voice for Positive Change
Through strength and unity, TCA is your powerful voice affecting positive, pro-chiropractic change. TCA employs both an in-house and contract lobbyist to fight the battles in our state legislature that threaten chiropractic’s inclusion and recognition in our health care system. TCA stays on top of industry and policy issues and works fiercely on your behalf to represent and protect your best interests, keeping you informed every step of the way. Through direct relationships we’ve established with insurance providers, TCA works to facilitate progress and improvement in chiropractic coverage, benefits and care for our citizens.
Your #1 Information Source
TCA is your source for credible, timely and accurate information. TCA is ready and able to contact the entire membership base with critical alerts on a moment’s notice through our broadcast fax and email service. The value of this service is especially realized during the legislative session when a call to doctors to assist the TCA lobbyists during pivotal moments of key legislation is critical to the final outcome. TCA is also extremely proud of its board members' availability and accessibility to the membership. Our board members are committed to taking your phone call, anytime. However, information dissemination is not limited to internal communication. TCA also provides a chiropractic referral service to the general public, with over 2,000 referrals made through phone, fax and email in 2007!
Your Professional Development Resource
TCA is committed to your education and professional development! Through continuing professional education credits at state-wide conferences, local seminars, online education and special events, TCA works hard to bring you the very best speakers and seminars to ensure you stay current with the latest research, knowledge, skills and ideas. In addition to your continuing education, TCA sponsored events are an excellent opportunity to keep in touch with your fellow doctors as you come together to learn, share and grow in the spirit of chiropractic.
Who's a Member? Are YOU a Member?
If you are a chiropractor in Texas, you are a part of the "body" that the TCA works to protect and serve.
Some chiropractors are very conscious of this body they belong to, and do their part to nurture it to its full potential. These are the TCA's active, dues paying members. They are the backbone of the association. They take an interest in the TCA's efforts, and work hard to ensure its ongoing success.
Other chiropractors neglect this body. They are either unaware of TCA and its work or they consciously choose to ignore the association.
Membership is an individual choice, and each individual choice impacts the entire body of the TCA. With so many external forces threatening our existence, can we afford to be compromised from within?
All chiropractors belong to the body. Each individual chiropractor has the power to help us or to hurt us. United, we can be healthy and strong and reach our highest potential!
It’s Our Future!
TCA members, staff, friends and supporters are working together to shape the chiropractic profession and create a positive, dynamic environment for chiropractic to flourish in our communities. We couldn’t do it without you!
