Join ICS / Join Advantage

The Iowa Chiropractic Patient Association (ICPA) works in conjunction with the Iowa Chiropractic Society, Inc. (ICS). The ICS is a not-for-profit organization that was incorporated in 1964 for the promotion of chiropractic health care for improvement of the quality of life of the general public in Iowa. The ICPA was created by the ICS in 2001 as a resource to chiropractic patients in Iowa. The idea is to provide people who already know the value of chiropractic with solid information that will enable them to take their health to that next level, through chiropractic.

For example, a patient who has been successfully treated for low back pain, may not be aware of the success chiropractic has with the treatment of migraine headaches. Good, solid, science-based information might help him/her to learn of these procedures and incorporate them into their health regime, or that of their family and friends.

One of the main benefits of the ICPA is a free, bi-monthly publication, HealthWays, which is published by the Foundation to Chiropractic Education and Research (FCER). FCER maintains a mailing list of all ICPA members and mails out HealthWays every other month.

Another benefit of membership will be information about legislative and regulatory issues that may impact you, the patient. This will be primarily during the legislative sessions, but will also be available throughout the year on an "as needed" basis. Specific information on important issues and instructions as to how to contact legislators will be made available to the member when appropriate. Just think, you can be in control of influencing your legislator and the law making process by sharing the value you get from visiting your chiropractor with your senator and representative.

In that you are accessing the ICS Website to read this material, you are aware that we will use the website as one of our primary communication and information tool.
