The '''World Chiropractic Alliance''' is a not-for-profit corporation founded in Arizona in 1989. The group serves as the voice of conservative "straight" chiropractors (those who rely on ]-correction exclusively) and claims to be "the only major chiropractic organization which passionately defends the rights of subluxation-based doctors and will stand up against those who would corrupt chiropractic by denying its philosophical and vitalistic foundations."<ref>

History
The WCA's support of "straight" chiropractic, with its emphasis on subluxation-correction, drug-free care, and non-medical approach to wellness, has brought it into conflict with the "mixer" school of chirpractic that favors use of more mainstream medical techniques alongside the traditional chiropractic adjustments.
Membership
Membership is open to all doctors of chiropractic and chiropractic students. A board of governors formulates policy and administers the running of the organization.
Leadership
The WCA was founded by, and is still led by, Dr. Terry Rondberg, DC, who serves as CEO. Also serving in leadership positions are:
Timothy J. Feuling, DC, Vice President
Cindy Rondberg, CFO
Barbara Bigham, Director of Communication
The WCA relies on the assistance of an "International Board of Governors" to help formulate and promulgate its policies and positions, but declines to name them.
