![]() HistoryThe practice of Chiropractic gained recognition in New York State on April 26, 1963. Then, in 1970, the New York State Chiropractic Association (NYSCA) was founded and it has continued to lead the path for the Chiropractic profession in New York State since that time. Originally located in New York City, the NYSCA moved its headquarters to the Albany area in 1988. The NYSCA celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1995. The NYSCA is a statewide professional Chiropractic Association, comprised entirely of your peers and colleagues. We have joined together in the promotion, advancement, and defense of Chiropractic. In conjunction with our full-time lobbyist, the NYSCA monitors all legislation that affects our profession while working to protect and expand practice rights. MISSIONThe NYSCA believes that doctors of chiropractic can contribute significantly to public health with their expert musculoskeletal care and their focus on a natural, whole-body approach to enhancing health and wellness. The NYSCA strives to remove any barriers that prevent patients from accessing the services of doctors of chiropractic. The NYSCA has made it our mission to provide a unified voice to protect and advocate for doctors of chiropractic, chiropractic patients and the chiropractic profession. We will accomplish this by promoting and pursuing excellence in all aspects of chiropractic practice and leading the chiropractic profession in establishing chiropractic care as the healthcare service of choice for people in the pursuit of wellness and the optimization of health.
