About Terry Rondberg!
For introducing pro-chiropractic legislation into Congress, we have Dr. Terry Rondberg to thank. Never one to be politically idle, Dr. Terry Rondberg has been active in numerous lobbying and legislative efforts. He was instrumental in the passing of bills including House Concurrent Resolution 46, which states, “Chiropractic care includes diagnosis, correction, and management of either vertebral subluxations or neuromusculoskeletal conditions performed by a licensed doctor of chiropractic, and should not include the use of drugs or surgery.” In addition, he was also part of a group that lobbied for House Resolution 2560, the Medicare Freedom Bill; HR 3476, the Tricare Bill that would provide chiropractic care to US military dependents and retirees through the “Tricare” program; and a number of other bills that protect and promote chiropractic.
As CEO of the World Chiropractic Alliance, Dr. Terry Rondberg oversees the non-governmental organization, which—with its global reach and influence—seeks to promote and protect chiropractic across the world. The WCA lays claim to members across the globe, including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, Israel, Ireland, Holland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Peru, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan Republic of China, and Thailand, in addition to the U.S. As CEO of the WCA, Dr. Terry Rondberg has been invaluable in the strides the chiropractic profession has taken in recent years, including obtaining accreditation as a non-governmental organization (NGO) by the Department of Public Information and, in 1998, affiliation with the United Nations. The WCA sponsored the first NGO workshop on chiropractic, called “The Role of Chiropractic Care in Global Wellness” at the International Conference of NGOs in Korea, and participated in the development of the World Health Organization (WHO) Guidelines on Basic Training and Safety in Chiropractic. They established a liaison to the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland, and worked with the WHO to develop the “WHO Guidelines on Basic Training and Safety in Chiropractic.” The WCA has also held summits in Australia Great Britain, Canada, and Austria.
Dr. Terry Rondberg believes in wellness and is driven by his desire to help others live more fulfilling lives. A skilled martial artist, Dr. Rondberg also practices yoga.
