Background

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. The President's Committee reported, and the World Federation of Chiropractic was established in Sydney, Australia on October 2, 1988^[8] at a World Chiropractic Congress^[9] organized by the Chiropractors' Association of Australia. It was initially conceived by Gary Auerbach^[10] of Tucson, Arizona, in consultation with David Chapman-Smith, a barrister practicing in Toronto, Canada.

The offices of the WFC are under the direction of Richard Brown, who has served as Secretary-General of the WFC since 2015.^[11]^[12]

Recognition

The WFC is a non-state actor in official relations with the World Health Organization.^[13] It achieved full formal relations status in 1997, after strong support from the World Federation of Neurology,^[14] World Federation of Public Health Associations,^[14] and the International Council of Nurses.^[14] The WFC is also an Associate Member of the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS).^[15]
