The World Federation of Chiropractic (WFC) (Template:Langx; Template:Langx) represents itself as an international consulting body representing chiropractic to the international health care community.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Background
In September 1987, at a World Chiropractic Summit convened by the European Chiropractors' Union[7] in London, England, there was agreement that a President's Committee be formed to inquire into, and report upon, the formation of a world federation representing national chiropractic associations. The President's Committee reported, and the World Federation of Chiropractic was established in Sydney, Australia on October 2, 1988[8] at a World Chiropractic Congress[9] organized by the Chiropractors' Association of Australia. It was initially conceived by Gary Auerbach[10] of Tucson, Arizona, in consultation with David Chapman-Smith, a barrister practicing in Toronto, Canada.
The offices of the WFC are under the direction of Brad Beira, who was appointed as Secretary General on 01 July 2025.[11][12]
Recognition
The WFC is a non-state actor that is not currently recognized by the World Health Organization.[13] The WFC is an Associate Member of the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS).[14]
