Dr. Aaron McMichael Elected to Serve as District Director to Ohio State Chiropractic Association

Dr. Aaron McMichael

Dr. Aaron McMichael has stepped down as President of the North Central Academy of Chiropractic (NCAC) to serve in his newly elected role of District Director to the Ohio State Chiropractic Association (OSCA). NCAC is a regional group of doctors of chiropractic that works with the state association.

Dr. McMichael will be serving on multiple committees in the OSCA including the Opioid Task Force. "I look forward to continuing to promote better solutions to the opioid crisis in Ohio. Though non-drug treatments provided by doctors of chiropractic have been recommended by various guidelines, there are still too many hurdles to proper patient access. I'll be working hard to reduce the barriers to patient access to chiropractic care and non-drug treatments."

The OSCA plans a special Advocacy Day in March, pushing state legislation that will improve Medicaid coverage of chiropractic care including exams that are not currently covered. "One of the great reasons to utilize doctors of chiropractic as a solution to the opioid crisis, is that research has indicated it not only works to reduce opioids and improve patient health, but it reduces health care costs at the same time. We'll be educating Ohio's legislators to make sure they understand the value of chiropractic as a cost-effective solution."
