It is not a requirement of your practice permit issued by the College of Chiropractors of Alberta (CCOA) to belong to the Chiropractic Association of Alberta (CAA). However, membership in the CAA is required to access other professional benefits provincially and nationally.
The Chiropractic Association of Alberta enables access to world-class care for spinal, muscle, nerve and joint conditions while expanding scope and utilization and optimizing practice life for members and adding value for patients. It also keeps you connected to a dedicated network of over 1200 chiropractors in Alberta
To be a member of the Canadian Chiropractic Protective Association (CCPA), you must be a member of both the Canadian Chiropractic Association (CCA) and the Chiropractic Association of Alberta (CAA). The CCPA is the only liability protection that focuses exclusively on chiropractors.CCPA ensures that you have the opportunity to talk to a chiropractor trained in risk mitigation, who understands what you do and can best assist you with your inquiry or risk situation. CCPA also provides continuing education in the form of the yearly Risk Management Project, as well as a quarterly podcast and electronic bulletins, all to help you manage your practice and reduce your risk.
CCPA was established by the partnership in a time of crisis and has been committed to protecting chiropractors since 1986. CCPA provides sleep at night protection, protecting over 8500 chiropractors across Canada so you can focus on providing top quality care to your patients.
To belong to the national Canadian Chiropractic Association (CCA), you are also required to belong to the provincial association, the Chiropractic Association of Alberta. The CCA is the profession’s representative with third-party insurance providers and advocates for pan-Canadian health privileges, such as chiropractors having the authority to authorize handicap parking placards for patients with disabilities.
