About Us

Board certified Diplomates are chiropractic specialists who have completed an extensive residency and/or post-doctoral education in non-surgical orthopedics and neuromusculoskeletal medicine. The Academy is independent of all chiropractic political and trade organizations. No chiropractic organization membership is necessary.

A goal of the Academy is to become an organization that provides board-certified chiropractic orthopedists and neuromusculoskeletal specialists, a venue for the exchange of clinical information, promote continuing education in chiropractic orthopedics and neuromusculoskeletal medicine and publish in a peer-reviewed and an indexed journal “The Journal of the International Academy of Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine“ (JIANM).

The Academy provides a specialty board certification process and maintains specialty status by maintaining credentials (MOC) and a competency program in chiropractic orthopedics and neuromusculoskeletal medicine.

The Academy maintains a yearly maintenance of credentials (MOC) process, which is available for Academy Diplomates.
