Vision

We believe that the chiropractic profession of America should occupy that place in its own and the public esteem to which it is entitled and that the chiropractor should be a leader in his community - in character, in learning, in dignified bearing, and in courteous relations with the professional colleagues. We believe that these things can be accomplished only by organized efforts and do hereby resolve ourselves into an organized association dedicated and pledge to the following objectives:

• To maintain the science and art of chiropractic as a separate and distinct health profession dedicated to the service of mankind.
• To maintain unimpaired the chiropractic principle and practice based on the premise that the relationship between structure and function in the human body is a significant health factor.
• To protect, promote, and promulgate the advancement of the philosophy, science and art of chiropractic and the professional welfare of members of this association in every legitimate and ethical way. This to the end that people in every locality shall have knowledge of the health benefits of chiropractic and the unhampered right and opportunity of obtaining the qualified services of doctors of chiropractic of unquestioned ability.

Since they serve humanity in the specialized "science and art which utilizes the inherent recuperative powers of the body and the relationship between the musculoskeletal structures and functions of the body, particularly of the spinal column and the nervous system in the restoration and maintenance of health," doctors of chiropractic have a unique health service to offer not available from any other source.

Members are authorized to do all things necessary and consistent with the general purpose of the organization, in the best interests of the profession and the public health and welfare under the Code of Ethics, the Bylaws, and the CP Master plan.
