The first time I visited FTCA on Facebook, someone else had posted "I have felt like I was a lone voice out screaming in a field alone, I was so frustrated." I knew exactly what that person meant as I, too, have felt alone in the wilderness. FTCA has given me camaraderie, encouragement, validation and even accountability. I have been pushed and pulled by on-line colleagues, most of them complete strangers at first, into a more positive attitude, more competence and way more confidence in the profession. Plus, the referral network gives me hope when my patients travel or move.

-DR. JOHN VAN TASSEL, ATHLETIC & FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC

Being a member of the FTCA has brought a community of trusted providers that I can refer to easily using the member map. One referral pays for the membership for several years and when patients move or a family member needs help, it is the first place I go. But in addition, there is content! You need help with documentation? Trying to figure out which EHR? Struggling with a difficult case? Or just need to chat. The FTCA has your back....ba dum tsss. (sorry couldn't help myself). I have no regrets and neither will you.

-DR. MELISSA MACDONALD, MOBILITY AGILITY CHIROPRACTIC PERFORMANCE

Being a member has given me a sense of pride and camaraderie with other chiropractors trying to push the profession forward. The FTCA is a place where we pick up clinical pearls, share business struggles and ideas, and make friends from all over the world.

-DR. BOBBY MOZAFARI, INTEGRATED SPORT, SPINE & REHAB

Being part of the FTCA has allowed me to be part of a group of like-minded professionals to exchange ideas and stay updated with the current evidence and policies when it comes to chiropractic care. As a fairly recent graduate and owning my own business, I had benefited greatly by learning from the seasoned chiropractors in the group when it comes to starting your own business and proper practice management that is both ethical and effective.

-DR. DAN HUANG, LEVEL UP SPORTS CHIROPRACTIC

The FTCA was such a great resource for me through my years as a student and into my career. Being surrounded by many like-minded individuals to learn from is an amazing opportunity. The information I have learned through this group has been a huge help to how I care for my patients. I look forward to continuing to learn from the best.

-DR. KOREY SAWDEY, FIT MUSCLE AND JOINT CLINIC

The Forward Thinking Chiropractic Alliance single-handedly saved my career when I was a chiropractic student. I felt completely alone until I met this group of passionate, friendly, and like-minded doctors on social media. I found my professional home and have never looked back.

-DR. ANNE MAURER, CLEVELAND UNIVERSITY KANSAS CITY

For too many years I have watched our profession look like it was going backwards.

Those of us who wanted something different, something better, have a rallying point now. The FTCA is equipping chiropractors who are serious about treating their patients with excellence to continue using the best research to guide them. I have great hope things are now headed in the right direction.

-DR. KEVIN CHRISTIE, CHIROPRACTIC SUCCESS ACADEMY

In a day when chiropractic care is losing its positive reputation, I am encouraged by the work of the FTCA to reverse that.

This association is always sharpening my focus and helping to clarify my mission, goals, and values.

-DR. AARON JORGENSEN, NORTHWEST INJURY CLINICS

In the past, I have often felt outnumbered and frustrated about things I saw about chiropractic care. I feared the evidence-based doctor was a dying breed. The FTCA has given me a community and made me a better DC. I think more critically and to manage patients more confidently and carefully. I have a renewed confidence to participate in dialogue with other providers.

-DR. MICHAEL MASSEY, MASSEY CHIROPRACTIC

It is so great to know that I am not alone in my ideas. Not only have I been encouraged by the community in the FTCA, I am extremely excited for all the new docs coming out of school that now have a community that can help guide them along a better path.
-DR. ROB PAPE, CHIROFITNESS

While working at other clinics, I was often criticized for taking too much time with a patient, or for releasing a patient too quickly. I always want to do what’s right for each patient and until I got to know the FTCA community I was starting to think I may be the only one. I’ve now discovered a resource and knowledge-base from numerous capable and more experienced practitioners than myself.

-DR. ANDREW KUBOSUMI, DOCTOR KUBO

In the early days, I always felt like I was alone with the "adjustment helps, movement is better" mentality. I always felt surrounded by those who were holding dearly to archaic ideas about chiropractic care. Today, I have found likeminded doctors who are excited about advancing the chiropractic profession forward.

-DR. MUEEN GHOURY

Felt I was alone even being at a school that call themselves evidence based. The FTCA has helped me connect with fellow like minded professionals that have added a ton of value to how I will serve my patients. I’m excited to see I’m excited to see where this profession will go now, especially with being more accepted within the medical community.

-MAX MASOOD, STUDENT (SCUHS)

As a student, I felt like it was difficult to find chiropractors who wanted to practice in a modern and evidence based way. It was difficult to find mentors who were doing what I wanted to do. Also, it was difficult to know where to go for good information on best practices in marketing and patient care.

The FTCA has introduced me to so many resources and people that will serve my practice for years to come.

-DR. JACKSON BERG, AIRROSTI
