Established in 1929, the Ontario Chiropractic Association (OCA) has more than 3,800 members. In fact, nearly 80 per cent of chiropractors in Ontario are OCA members. We are the fourth largest chiropractic association in the world by membership.
The OCA’s mission is to serve our members and the public by advancing the understanding and use of chiropractic care. To achieve this mission, we deliver a range of programs, services and initiatives to help our members and partners deliver quality patient care and improve Ontario’s health care system.

Working to Improve Ontario’s Health Care System

We work with health care organizations, government agencies and other community partners to co-develop and implement programs that empower our members to help Ontarians in need, such as the Primary Care Low Back Pain program, Red Tape Relief and Health2Work.
Working with our partners, we co-develop policy and advocacy initiatives to advance a better health care system for people across Ontario.
