In the height of environmental consciousness, chiropractic is the “green” approach to health. Chiropractic for the World Foundation is led by a group of dedicated and committed chiropractors from across Canada who have the desire to take chiropractic to those who need assistance around the world. The foundation presents an opportunity for benefactors to give to developing countries in a mindful way.

For more than thirty years, the foundation’s directors have supported chiropractic colleges, charities and developing countries. Past president, Dr. Paul Bickert, has founded two publicly-traded corporations – one reaching thirty thousand shareholders and a market capitalization of three-quarters of a billion dollars. He later converted that wealth to philanthropic giving after his retirement.

Every founding director of Chiropractic for the World is a graduate chiropractor with years of professional education and clinical experience, and with a thirst for ongoing continuing education in cutting-edge research. Their projects are carefully selected through research that provides critical insight to the needs of each region.

Driven by each member’s passion to serve mankind through chiropractic, Chiropractic for the World is committed to leaving a legacy of service, health and hope to each region/nation they touch.

Thanks to the generous support of donors, Chiropractic for the World will be conducting a trip to Ghana at the end of January 2012. Thousands will be receiving chiropractic care and some of the mission’s donors will also have the opportunity to visit the Offinso School, which was inaugurated in 2011 and was made possible through the efforts Dr. Bickert and others dedicated to bringing education to Ghana!

In September 2012, Chiropractic to the World will be taking a chiropractic team to the capital city of Kigali (population of one-million) and to a women's shelter in Rwanda. The shelter has been set up to empower women and children affected by the genocide.
