WFC Research Awards Sponsored by NCMIC were Announced at DC2017

NCMIC demonstrates our "We Take Care of Our Own®" motto in many ways, including supporting chiropractic research and education projects. Since 1995, $14.8 million has been funded.

It is our goal to support projects that evaluate the impact of chiropractic care and chiropractic’s cost effectiveness in healthcare. That’s why we were proud to sponsor the World Federation of Chiropractic (WFC) Lou Sportelli Awards presented at DC2017 on March 18, 2017.
