Placing a monetary value on ICPA membership is like placing a dollar value on the life-saving adjustment. The far reaching benefits of being connected with like-minded practitioners who are collaborating for research, public awareness and practice success is immeasurable.
In your practice, your charge for the adjustment reflects your time for service. Your adjustment is priceless, but your time is accountable. So too, the ICPA membership dues is our charge for the services and time of 12 dedicated employees and the administrative costs to accomplish our services. What we offer to you, your practice and the profession is priceless.
In comparison with other services and membership benefits in our profession, the ICPA offers:
- Listing on the most active referral directory in chiropractic (priced by other organizations at $200 per month, or $2,400 per year. With ICPA, for you...free)
- Subscription to the only Chiropractic Family Wellness consumer magazine, Pathways to Family Wellness ($24.95 annual fee--offer not available in any other organization. With ICPA, for you... free)
- National advertising benefits in consumer magazines, websites and conferences (Offered as high as $250 per month or $3000 per year by other organizations. With ICPA, for you... free)
- Patient e-newsletters: Family Wellness First (Minimal charge from other companies $25 monthly or $300 annually. With ICPA, for you...free)
- Clinical forum for doctor case discussion and solving (Not offered any where else in our profession. With ICPA, for you...free)
- Participation to determine wellness evidenced based practice in the largest, most successful Chiropractic Practiced Based Research Network (Comparable fees in medical PBRN's $250 monthly or $3,000 annually. No comparison available in chiropractic. With ICPA, for you...free)
- Significant discounts on world renowned classes (As much as $100 off per seminar)
- Free 4 months added to annual subscription to the only Pediatric, Maternal & Family Health Research Journal in Chiropractic (With ICPA: $37.50 annual discount)
Totaling up an annual expense for these services elsewhere comes to $8,768.
ICPA membership including all of these services $195 annually.
How can you afford NOT to be a member??
Look at it this way...$195 per year comes to 57 cents per day! What other daily investment yields such a high return? Your first referral will pay for your annual membership in 2 visits! Include all the other free services and benefits that come with your membership and it is absurd not to join.
Finally, your membership investment allows us to accomplish all this for the advancement of what you love most: Chiropractic Family Wellness.

Earlier this week you received an e-mail about our latest publication in a major CAM journal, Explore. This was groundbreaking and is moving the awareness of family wellness chiropractic to another whole level. To continue to with this type of publishing we need your support:
A PBRN is the means of establishing clinically relevant research for our practices. The ICPA/PBRN is the largest clinically based research machine in the profession.
This is about you: your success and future direction in practice. Your donations to the PBRN are used to fund the costs to keep this research machine in action.
- Join the PBRN and give us the data.
- Donate to the PBRN so we can continue the momentum we have started.
