ABOUT MEMBERSHIP
The Advanced Orthogonal Members are the keystone of our Institute’s strength and progress. As a member, you not only guide the future of the organization through your voice and your vote, but you also gain access to essential resources designed to propel your career as an Advanced Orthogonal doctor and strengthen your expertise in the upper cervical specialty.
The culture of our Institute—built on trust, collaboration, and shared purpose—is the fuel that drives innovation and growth. Together, our members pool resources, advance research, and pursue key goals that shape the future of Advanced Orthogonal care. Within this professional community, you will find both the support and the tools necessary to accelerate your practice growth—technically, professionally, and financially.
Who is Membership For?
Membership in the Advanced Orthogonal Institute is intentionally broad and inclusive. Our goal is to bring together doctors at every stage of their journey—those already established in Advanced Orthogonal, those just beginning, and those seeking to expand or transition their upper cervical expertise. By opening the door to a wide range of professionals, we ensure that the Institute remains a vibrant, collaborative community where growth, mentorship, and innovation thrive. Membership is open to:
- Veteran AdvO Doctors – This membership is for doctors who have already trained in the Advanced Orthogonal Technique and want to stay actively involved in the Institute. It provides ongoing opportunities to continue their training, contribute to shaping the future of the organization, and, for those who are certified, even pursue eligibility for board membership.
- Students – If you are interested in getting involved with Advanced Orthogonal training early, membership gives you access to resources that accelerate your learning and prepare you for a successful career.
- A.O. or EPIC Doctors – If you have trained in AO or Epic techniques and want to accelerate your cross-training and certification, membership is a powerful way to get involved. Many AO and Epic doctors have developed tremendous technical skill but need a professional home. Membership provides that community, along with opportunities to engage in events and collaborative projects.
- Other Upper Cervical Chiropractors – This membership is also for doctors trained in other upper cervical techniques who want to transition their practice into Advanced Orthogonal. It is equally valuable for those seeking to refine their current approach or cross-train in Advanced Orthogonal to expand their expertise while remaining engaged in the broader AdvO community.
This is not a closed membership requiring prior certification. Instead, it serves as the gateway to growth—an open access point designed to accelerate your learning, strengthen your expertise, and expand your professional opportunities.
MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS
1. Annual Conference Registration Included
Your membership comes with full registration for the Advanced Orthogonal Annual Conference, a value of $697. The Annual Conference is the central gathering place for our community each year. This event is more than a meeting; it is the ultimate homecoming for AdvO doctors, students, and colleagues from across the upper cervical field. Members save the full cost of registration, , and may also choose to add continuing education credits for just $50. The 2025 conference will be one of the most significant events in our history, bringing together leaders, newcomers, and students to share knowledge, strengthen relationships, and advance the profession.
2. Voting Rights & Board Eligibility
As a member, you are not just part of the Institute—you help guide its future. Membership gives you the right to vote in board elections, ensuring that your perspective shapes the organization. In addition, certified members are eligible to run for board positions themselves. With three of the nine seats opening every year, new voices and forward-thinking leaders always have opportunities to influence the direction of the Institute and the profession.
3. Discounts on Training & Seminars
Professional growth is at the heart of the Advanced Orthogonal Institute, and membership makes ongoing education more affordable and accessible. Members receive:
- $600 off the Advanced Orthogonal Boot Camp – our immersive, hands-on program designed to take doctors from zero to fully equipped in a fast-paced and highly effective format.
- $200 off every seminar – whether it’s part of the Fundamental Series or an advanced course, your membership ensures that continuing your education is always within reach.
- Exclusive partner discounts – enjoy savings on select programs and services through UC Strategic Solutions, Synapse Continuing Education, and other collaborations that will expand as the Institute grows.
These savings quickly add up, often covering the cost of membership itself while giving you access to the highest level of training in the field.
4. Directory Listing & Patient Exposure
Membership also connects you directly to the patients who need your care. Every member is included in the Advanced Orthogonal Doctor Directory (Coming Late 2025), an actively promoted resource that helps patients find qualified doctors they can trust. This visibility not only builds your credibility but also expands your practice reach. By strengthening the connection between patients and doctors, the Institute ensures that the community grows together.
