The ACS has a sustained, respected presence in the state of Alaska, enabling us to fight for the interests of our doctors and our profession. The ACS is the only chiropractic association in the state and endeavors to consistently provide high quality information and education opportunities to our members.

I may pay in full or on an installment plan of monthly, quarterly or half yearly. Installment plans are available for annual membership fees – monthly, quarterly, and semi-annually and automatically billed to your credit card. Installments will be prorated to reflect the time member joins.

As a Practice Manager, I can’t imagine not being a member of Alaska Chiropractic Society.
We have access to fee schedule, alerts to what changes insurance companies are making, and information on what is happening at the State and National level. I would think if we weren’t members we would feel we were in a bubble where we had no idea what was happening. I can do my job better because of our membership! Becoming a member of the Alaska Chiropractic Society is one of the best investments Kanady Chiropractic Center has made. The continuing education opportunities and the ability to connect with my peers are invaluable.
