World Federation of Chiropractic

The World Federation of Chiropractic (WFC) (French: La Fédération Mondiale de Chiropratique (FMC); Spanish: La Federación Mundial de Quiropráctica (FMQ)) is an international consulting body representing chiropractic to the international health care community.

[1][2][3][4][5][6] 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.

It was initially conceived by Gary Auerbach[10] of Tucson, Arizona, in consultation with David Chapman-Smith, a barrister practicing in Toronto, Canada.

[11][12] The WFC is a non-state actor in official relations with the World Health Organization.

[14] The WFC is also an Associate Member of the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS).
