ACA Endorsements

An ACA endorsement is given to products that are of the highest quality after thorough review, analysis, testing and evaluation by a review board of doctors of chiropractic with specific and related expertise and final approval from ACA’s Board of Governors. Products are reviewed regularly to ensure they continue to meet the high standards on which the endorsement was approved.

ACA has granted endorsements only for the following products.

About the Program

The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) Endorsement Program is designed to inform the public or profession as to the quality of a product or service. It focuses on products that have a chiropractic-related benefit for consumers and doctors of chiropractic (DCs). An endorsement is granted after thorough review, analysis, testing and evaluation by ACA’s Business Development Advisory Board (BDAB) and final approval from ACA’s Board of Governors.

The evaluation period takes approximately three months depending on the amount of time required to examine and evaluate each product. The process can include consultation with doctors who specialize in areas of practice that closely relate to the product presented for endorsement consideration. After the initial 30-90 day evaluation period, the advisory board will meet to discuss results and determine if additional time is required for the evaluation process.

Upon completion of the evaluation, the advisory board will make its recommendation to ACA’s Board of Governors to grant final approval. Once it receives final approved, ACA staff will contact the applicant and begin the product endorsement agreement process that includes terms of use and associated licensing fees.
