Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• The Evidence Based Chiropractor: The Evidence Based Chiropractor produces research-based marketing and practice growth content (podcasts, courses, scripts) aimed at helping DCs build referral relationships with MDs. Comparable because it operates at the same intersection of chiropractor education, referral development, and medical-professional positioning.
• ChiroHealthUSA: ChiroHealthUSA offers a doctor-based network and practice consulting/compliance services for chiropractors, including discounted fee programs. It is comparable because it sells both subscription consulting services and operational tools to the same DC mid-market customer base the Academy targets.
• ChiroCredit.com: ChiroCredit.com provides online continuing education (CE/CME) courses specifically for chiropractors, including state-mandated and specialty topics. It is the most directly comparable peer because, like Academy of Chiropractic, it monetizes chiropractor-targeted post-graduate education and credentialing via course enrollment.

Others

• Foot Levelers: Foot Levelers supplies custom orthotics and practice support tools to chiropractors. It is adjacent rather than directly competitive, but reaches the same DC customer base through educational content and practice development resources.
• ChiroTouch: ChiroTouch provides chiropractic practice management software (EHR, billing, scheduling). It is an ecosystem participant serving the same DC market through operational tooling rather than education, and competes for the same practice-development wallet.
• Erchonia: Erchonia manufactures low-level laser therapy devices used in chiropractic and offers clinician training and certification. It is an adjacent participant that combines equipment sales with practitioner education in overlapping clinical topics (e.g., pain, rehabilitation).

Broad incumbents

• Palmer College of Chiropractic: Palmer College of Chiropractic is one of the largest chiropractic degree-granting institutions and offers post-graduate and continuing education. It is a broad incumbent peer because it serves the same DC professional development category, albeit via formal degree programs rather than niche credentialing tracks.
• Cleveland University Kansas City, College of Chiropractic: Cleveland University Kansas City is a chiropractic college that also runs post-graduate and continuing education programs. It is the Academy's academic partner but also a broader incumbent offering degree and post-graduate programs in the same chiropractic education category.
• Life University: Life University is a large chiropractic and health sciences institution that provides DC degrees and post-graduate specialty programs. It competes for the same chiropractor learner and CE budget the Academy targets, although at a much broader institutional scale.
• Logan University: Logan University is a chiropractic and health sciences university offering doctor of chiropractic degrees plus post-graduate and continuing education. Comparable as an incumbent operating in the same chiropractic professional education space, with broader institutional scale than the Academy.
