Building on a historic March 2026 meeting between Make America Healthy Again and chiropractic leadership, MAHA has announced the launch of the Chiropractic Hub (mahacenter.org/chiropractic-hub), an unprecedented multi-pronged initiative working in conjunction with MAHA's broader goals and initiatives.
Prioritizing Chiropractic’s Priorities
A press release from MAHA describes the Chiropractic Hub as “a coordinated national partnership uniting MAHA Center, MAHA Action, and the chiropractic profession, including national associations, state organizations, practitioners, educators, researchers, and patient advocates. The Chiropractic Hub will advance federal policy, expand patient access, and build broad public support for chiropractic care across America.”*
The historic March meeting between MAHA and chiropractic leaders established the founding priorities of the Chiropractic Hub: “the need for a coordinated national strategy to expand access to chiropractic care, strengthen federal recognition of the profession, advance Medicare modernization, and better integrate chiropractic into military, veteran, and broader public health systems.”
To that end, the Chiropractic Hub will operate across four pillars:
- Education and media
- Research and access expansion
- Coalition building
- Federal advocacy
Throughout 2026, the Chiropractic Hub will pursue four coordinated workstreams to advance the pillars, detailed as follows in the release:
1. National PR and education campaign: An emphasis on building public policy and professional support for chiropractic as a credible, accessible and prevention-focused modality that aligns with MAHA priorities.
2. Medicare and federal recognition: A goal to advance the Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act in the 119th Congress and advocate for the full implementation of Section 2706 of the Affordable Care Act, ensuring that Medicare and privately insured patients have greater access to chiropractic care.
3. Military integration: Engage with the Defense Health Agency and Army Medical Research to embed chiropractic care across military health systems and within active-duty personnel, reducing early exits from service and offering a non-surgical alternative for musculoskeletal injuries.
4. Department of Veterans Affairs: The Hub will engage the VA Secretary to issue a nationwide directive expanding chiropractic access for veterans and their dependents. The goal is to eliminate excessive wait times, minimize restrictions and open the Community Care Program network to more providers.
Other proposed workstreams to be pursued as the initiative progresses include insurance and reimbursement reform; NIH and research funding; maternal, pediatric and women’s health; and student loans and the workforce pipeline.
Dedicated to Leveling the Playing Field
"The Chiropractic profession is exactly the kind of drug-free, whole-person, prevention-first care that the Make America Healthy Again movement was built to champion,” said Tony Lyons, president of MAHA Center, in the release. “The Chiropractic Hub brings both practitioners and patients into the fight against chronic disease and gives Americans a real alternative to a system that too often treats symptoms rather than root causes."
