Learn about the Forum 2023Welcome to the ICA Council on Upper Cervical Care
The Council on Upper Cervical Care is one of the specialty councils of the International Chiropractors Association. It is a professional forum designed to advance expertise in the analysis and care of the upper cervical spine and to be a voice for upper cervical chiropractic in research, education, clinical and policy-making environments. To this end it offers a post-doctoral program in upper cervical care leading to a Diplomate in Chiropractic Craniocervical Junction Procedures (DCCJP). By building a strong network of upper cervical professionals, the Council seeks to promote unity within the articular- and orthogonal- based procedure groups to increase chiropractic’s impact on public health, advance research and be a solid resource for information on upper cervical care.
Diplomate Program
The Dipolmate In Chiropractic Craniocervical Junction Procedures (DCCJP) is designed for upper cervical doctors of chiropractic seeking advanced knowledge and understanding of upper cervical procedures.
