The Wilk’s case is a HUGE moment in Chiropractic history, however it is something that surprisingly few chiropractors know about. In this episode the amazing Dr Ricardo Flores Dc shares a little on the incredible legal battle that we all still benefit from today.

Dr Flores, a hugely passionate Chiropractor was kind enough to take some time out of his busy week to share some of his insight on the topic and what his research on the topic has Brough up while he prepares to speak on the topic at upcoming Chiro events.

The Wilk’s case began in October 1976, when Chester Wilk, D.C. and four other chiropractors filed suit against the AMA. The suit claimed that the defendants had participated for years in an illegal conspiracy to destroy chiropractic. On August 24, 1987, after endless wrangling in the courts, it was ruled that the AMA and its officials were guilty, as charged, of attempting to eliminate the chiropractic profession.

This case effects us all today and is certainly must listen for all of todays Chiropractors.
