Join the OSCA and Doctors of Chiropractic all around the state in celebrating Ohio Chiropractic Awareness Month.

BENEFITS OF CHIROPRACTIC
Natural Pain Relief
Chiropractic care addresses the root causes of pain — especially in the back, neck, and joints — without relying on pain medication or invasive procedures.
Better Posture & Spinal Health
Chiropractors correct misalignments and provide posture guidance, reducing strain from long hours at a desk, technology use, or repetitive activities.
Headache & Migraine Relief
By reducing tension and improving spinal alignment, chiropractic care can decrease the frequency and intensity of headaches and migraines.

Improved Mobility & Function
Adjustments restore proper movement in the spine and joints, helping patients stay active, recover from injuries, and move more freely in daily life.
Whole-Person Wellness
Chiropractors promote healthy lifestyle habits like exercise, nutrition, and ergonomics, supporting long-term wellness beyond symptom relief.
Enhanced Sports Performance & Injury Prevention
Athletes of all levels use chiropractic to improve flexibility, balance, and recovery — while lowering the risk of future injuries.
Thursday, October 16th is World Spine Day
Coordinated by the World Federation of Chiropractic (WFC) and F4CP, this event, held on October 16 each year, is believed to be the largest interprofessional global public health event dedicated to promoting spinal health and well-being. Its goal is to raise awareness of the permeative and diverse nature of spinal pain and disability as part of the global burden of disease.
RAISE AWARENESS
October is Chiropractic Awareness Month, dedicated to raising awareness about the benefits of chiropractic care and its role in supporting healthier communities. Too often, people only think of chiropractic for back pain, but it goes far beyond that — helping with mobility, posture, injury prevention, and whole-body wellness. This month is about educating the public, breaking down myths, and encouraging Ohioans to explore safe, natural solutions for better health. By spreading the word, we can help more people discover the lasting impact chiropractic care can have on their everyday lives.

GET INVOLVED
H.R. 539 & S. 106, the Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Acts, have been introduced in their respective chambers, and co-sponsors are steadily signing on — but we need more voices to keep the momentum growing! These bills are a historic step forward, expanding patient access to Medicare-covered benefits within a chiropractor’s full state scope of practice. Every additional co-sponsor brings us closer to ensuring seniors receive the comprehensive care they deserve. We’ve gained traction, but success depends on continued advocacy from doctors like you. Use the links below to quickly send a letter asking your U.S. Representative and Senators to sign on today — together we can advance chiropractic care for all.
