The Chiropractic Development Initiative (CDI) began in June 2010 and is a long-term commitment to positively affect changes in statute, regulation, as well as government and public perception. CDI directly supports TCA's advocacy, legal and public relations initiatives to advance chiropractic in the Lone Star State.
Why Should I Support the CDI? Whether you have an all-cash practice, or a practice that only accepts insurance, CDI protects and promotes your rights and your patients’ rights. You benefit, whether you adjust one bone, every bone or no bones at all. If you practice chiropractic, in any form or fashion, you benefit and your patients benefit.
What Will It Take for the CDI to be a Success? The CDI is a long-term plan, which means that it will require continued and sustained support from DCs, patients, vendors and institutions. Rather than a one-time fundraising campaign, annual strategy or a session-by-session plan, the CDI must be a sustained effort to continue the positive momentum for our profession and the patients we serve. CDI will require continuous, grass-roots action and ongoing financial contributions. Most importantly, it requires banding together with your fellow chiropractors for the “greater good."
- We believe the people of Texas should be afforded the full benefit of chiropractic care based on the level of education, training and experience of the doctor of chiropractic (DC).
- We believe the people of Texas should be afforded access to chiropractic care free of restrictive limitations or discriminatory payment provisions.
- We believe DCs should be afforded the level of authority, respect and esteem equal to the dramatic impact they make on the health care system.
