MAHA Meets Chiropractic: Historic Meeting in Washington, D.C.

A landmark meeting in Washington, D.C., brought together leaders from across the chiropractic profession and the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement. On March 10th, 2026, representatives from historically independent and sometimes oppositional organizations like the ICA, ACA, and ChiroCongress convened with a shared goal: advancing chiropractic's role in American healthcare. The collaboration is a natural fit, as MAHA’s mission to identify the root causes of chronic disease through prevention and conservative care aligns perfectly with chiropractic principles. The discussion centered on overcoming long-standing professional obstacles, including access to care and reimbursement parity. Many attendees, including MAHA's Leigh Merinoff, expressed optimism that this newfound unity could finally give chiropractic an equal footing in the medical system. Dr. Gilles LaMarche of Life University was named the chiropractic spokesperson for the group, signifying a commitment to ongoing collaboration. The meeting is viewed as a pivotal moment, not just for specific policy goals, but for creating the cohesion necessary for the profession to shape the future of national health policy. As one leader noted, it is a time for action, unity, and leadership, not old disagreements.
