The American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA)

was formed in 1989 by a group of veterinarians and chiropractors interested in furthering the profession of animal chiropractic.  Dr. Sharon Willoughby, a DVM and DC, is the founder and was elected as the first president.

Today, the AVCA has a three-fold mission: to function as a professional membership group, to promote animal chiropractic to professionals and the public, and to act as the certifying agency for doctors who have undergone animal chiropractic training.  One of the major goals of the AVCA is to provide the public with unhampered access to ethical doctors trained in animal chiropractic.
