American Naprapathic Association

The American Naprapathic Association (ANA) is the nation's oldest and largest association of Naprapaths. Founded in 1907 (?), the ANA is a non-profit organization whose members are dedicated to protecting, preserving, promoting and expanding the manual medicine discipline of Naprapathy in all of its endeavors.

Membership is open to all individuals with a Doctor of Naprapathy (D.N.) or who is licensed to practice Naprapathy in their State. All of our members have a strong commitment to the philosophy, art and science of manual medicine.

Membership in this organization provides many benefits. First and foremost, the ANA monitors and fights legislation that could limit you from practicing your profession.

The ANA schedules an annual convention providing excellent continuing health care education. Presenters come from around the world sharing their knowledge and experience in manual medicine and related disciplines. The annual convention and educational seminars offer you an opportunity to meet colleagues and form valuable supportive friendships with others sharing similar views.

As a member of the ANA you will receive significant discounts to attend these educational seminars. Because ANA is the leader in the field of Naprapathic medicine, we are recognized by the World Organization for Alternative Medicine, the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, and the Illinois Board of Naprapathic Examiners as the primary organization representing Naprapathic medicine in the

United States

. The American Naprapathic Association furthermore is the credentialing body for all Naprapathic higher educational institutions.

NEW BOARD MEMBERS

The ANA is very proud to present our new board president, Dr. James Kearns, DN., who took over his new duties on January 1st, 2010. We are all sad to see Dr. Sharon Devita step down as President. She will be returning for further educational pursuits and she has led the ANA honorably for the past 2 years. In addition, long time board member Dr. Joseph Kosar is also stepping down.

Dr. Kearns brings with him a new vision for the profession and hopes to breathe a brand new vitality into this historic association.He has a thriving practice in Woodstock and will bring his many years of experience and successful business practices to his new position.

In addition to our welcoming in a new president, there are several new board members who will be joining the organization. There will also be some shifting of positions in order to accomodate these changes and help be more efficient at meeting our organizational needs and the needs of the membership ranks. The launch of this new website highlights the revitalization and committment of the ANA to assist it's members in meeting all challenges in the near and distant future.

The current Board of Directors list can be found at the bottom of our About Us page.
