Among chiropractic seminars, there are none larger than the Parker School of Professional Success (PSPS), otherwise known as Parker seminars. For the last 50 years, over 30,000 doctors of chiropractic from the United States and 23 countries have attended one or more Parker seminars. In 1989, a single Parker seminar had an attendance of over 7,000 doctors.
This year the Parker organization is celebrating its 50 years with celebrities, a great band and speakers like Dr. Deepak Chopra, Mark Victor Hansen and Wayne Dyer. The celebration for Parker's 50th anniversary is set for Las Vegas, Nevada, January 17-20, 2002. The Parker people say the seminar will bring the "best of the best" from within the profession and out. Parker's 50th anniversary will also include over 150 exhibitors showcasing a wide variety of products to support and enhance the chiropractic profession.
There are almost 90,000 chiropractors and chiropractic students around the world. At press time, Parker is exploring the possibility of webcasting some of the seminar events so that DCs and students everywhere can participate. Webcasting is in keeping with Parker's pioneering spirit and could "break the ice" for many other chiropractic programs to become involved with internet broadcasting, making available opportunities to every member of the profession, regardless of where they live.

When sports chiropractors first appeared at the Olympic Games in the 1980s, it was alongside individual athletes who had experienced the benefits of chiropractic care in their training and recovery processes at home. Fast forward to Paris 2024, where chiropractic care was available in the polyclinic for all athletes, and the attitude has now evolved to recognize that “every athlete deserves access to sports chiropractic."
It is estimated that 61% of patients with CTS avoid taking surgical options due to postoperative complications and costly surgical procedures. Chiropractic care offers a comprehensive and effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, addressing the condition from multiple angles. Recent studies also have unveiled a game-changing adjunct to chiropractic treatments for CTS: nerve flossing.
Some doctors thrive in a personality-based clinic and have a loyal following no matter what services or equipment they offer, but for most chiropractic offices who are trying to grow and expand, new equipment purchases help us stay relevant and continue to service our client base in the best, most up-to-date manner possible. So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?
