    NCMIC was started in 1946 when a small group of chiropractors couldn’t find an insurance company that would sell them the malpractice insurance they needed to protect themselves. So they decided to take matters into their own hands, creating a company that would protect them and their fellow chiropractors, specializing in products specific to DCs. To continue helping our customers do more, we’ve expanded our products and services. Over the years, one thing has remained the same: our vision – We Take Care of Our Own.
