Building a Stronger KCA Together
At the Kansas Chiropractic Association, membership is more than a dues payment. It is an investment in advocacy, education, professional protection, and the long-term future of chiropractic in Kansas.
Over the past year, we have worked to sharpen our focus on member value, improve our communication tools, and build resources that clearly demonstrate the return on investment of KCA membership. As part of that effort, we recently launched several new membership initiatives designed to help current members better understand the value of the Association — and to help non-members see what they are missing.
New Membership Resources
We recently launched a redesigned KCA membership landing page that highlights the many ways the Association works for Kansas chiropractors every day.

The page outlines member benefits, including legislative advocacy and regulatory representation, continuing education discounts, district engagement opportunities, compliance resources, and professional networking.
We also created a new Membership ROI Calculator to help chiropractors better understand the tangible financial value of membership.

Many members are surprised to see how quickly the value adds up through advocacy, CE savings, district meetings, compliance support, conventions, and member discounts. While some benefits are difficult to quantify — such as protecting chiropractic scope or maintaining representation at the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts — those efforts may ultimately be the most important work the Association performs.
Strategic Growth Goals
As part of the KCA Strategic Plan, the Association has established a goal of adding 30 new members in 2026. That goal aligns with our broader mission of strengthening chiropractic advocacy, engagement, and organizational sustainability throughout Kansas.

In addition to the Association’s official goal, I have set a personal goal of helping KCA reach 40 new members this year.
To support those efforts, we also developed a new membership leave-behind handout that can be shared during conversations with prospective members.

Membership growth matters because a stronger membership creates stronger advocacy. Every additional member increases the Association’s ability to represent the profession before legislators, regulators, insurance companies, and other stakeholders.
The Dome Tour Challenge
And now for the accountability portion of this campaign.
If KCA reaches my personal goal of 40 new members in 2026, I will livestream myself completing the famous Kansas Statehouse Dome Tour in Topeka.
The tour includes climbing 296 steps inside the Kansas State Capitol dome, with no elevator, before reaching the outdoor observation area at the top of the Capitol.
So, if you have colleagues who are not currently KCA members, now is the perfect time to encourage them to join. Help us grow the profession, strengthen our advocacy efforts, and perhaps enjoy the sight of your Executive Director questioning his life choices somewhere around step 240.
Together, we can continue building a stronger future for chiropractic in Kansas.
KCA Office Coverage Notice – June 4–22
Please note that Dr. Oller will be out of the office from June 4 through June 22 for a family vacation.
During this time, the KCA office phone line will remain answered, and emails sent to KCA@kansaschiro.com will continue to be monitored. Members of the KCA Executive Committee will assist with responding to calls and emails as they are able throughout this period.
While response times may be slower than usual, we will make every effort to address urgent matters and assist members as needed.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Peptides in Chiropractic Practice: Where Kansas Law Draws the Line
Chiropractors across Kansas are being aggressively targeted with “turnkey” peptide programs promising new revenue, simple implementation, and full compliance.
But there is a critical gap between the marketing and what Kansas law actually allows.
The issue is not whether peptides exist in healthcare. It is how they are being used, who is making the clinical decisions, and whether those actions fall within chiropractic scope of practice.
Some models may appear compliant on the surface. In practice, they can expose chiropractors to significant regulatory and professional risk.
Before you consider adding peptides to your practice, it is essential to understand where the legal boundaries are drawn.

ChiroThon 2026 at Spring Convention
This past weekend, the Kansas Chiropractic Association was proud to partner with the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress to host ChiroThon Live @ KCA as part of the 2026 Spring Convention.
ChiroThon is a national, telethon-style event designed to elevate the chiropractic profession through public awareness, storytelling, and strategic marketing initiatives. Hosted by Dr. Sherry McAllister and Dr. Sean Drake, the event brings together chiropractors, athletes, and influential voices to highlight the impact of chiropractic care.
A National Platform, Hosted in Kansas
This year’s ChiroThon featured an impressive lineup of guests from across the profession and beyond, including leaders, educators, and high-profile advocates such as:
- Will Shields
- Dr. Christine Foss
- Dr. Patrick Hammond
- Dr. Rebekah Wilks
- Dr. Tobi Jeurink
- Dr. Carl Cleveland
- Dr. Logan Null
Additional contributors from across the profession helped showcase the depth, diversity, and impact of chiropractic care on a national stage.
By integrating ChiroThon directly into the KCA Spring Convention, Kansas chiropractors played a visible and meaningful role in advancing the profession’s message—not just locally, but across the country.
Real Impact: $35,000+ Raised
Thanks to the generosity and engagement of KCA members, sponsors, and supporters, more than $35,000 was raised during the event to support F4CP’s ongoing public awareness campaigns.
These funds directly contribute to national marketing efforts, as well as Kansas-based marketing that:
- Promote chiropractic as a first-line, drug-free approach to care
- Increase patient awareness and utilization
- Strengthen the profession’s visibility in media and public discourse
This is exactly the type of coordinated, profession-wide effort that moves chiropractic forward.
There’s Still Time to Participate
If you were unable to contribute during the event, donations remain open through Memorial Day.
This is an opportunity to continue supporting the messaging and visibility efforts that benefit every chiropractor in practice.

Moving Forward
ChiroThon is more than a single event—it is part of a larger strategy to elevate the chiropractic profession through unified messaging and national exposure.
KCA’s involvement reflects a continued commitment to:
- Advocacy and public awareness
- Strategic partnerships that amplify our impact
- Ensuring chiropractic remains visible, relevant, and growing
Thank you to everyone who participated, donated, and helped make this a successful and meaningful addition to the 2026 KCA Spring Convention.
