Dr. Richard Brassard has been selected to succeed Shelby Elliott,DC, as president of Texas Chiropractic College in 2004.
"After serious consideration, I came to the conclusion that Dr. Richard Brassard would be the perfect fit for this mission, and gave this recommendation to the board of regents," explained Dr. Elliott, a 1950 graduate of TCC who has served as president of the college the last 10 years.
When Dr. Brassard takes over as president in 2004, Dr. Elliott will hold the position of president emeritus for two years, at which point he will have the option of retiring anytime thereafter.
Dr. Elliott's family is closely aligned with the chiropractic profession. His brother Horace has been the executive director of the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners since 1986, and brother Orbie is a retired chiropractor residing in Olathe, Kansas.
Dr. Brassard has been a member of the TCC Board since 1999, and is an old acquaintance of Dr. Elliott. "I am looking forward to working alongside my good friend, Dr. Shelby Elliott," said Dr. Brassard. "I'm totally committed to the college, just as he is," he added.
Back pain? Blame the psoas. Seems as if everybody wants to dive headfirst into their psoas at the first sign of trouble with the lumbopelvic-hip region.

There is another big player on the scene: the iliacus.

HSV-2 mostly infects around the genital area. Infection with the virus can be unsightly and painful, especially for HSV-2.
What’s the simplest way to ensure prompt payment for your claims? Ensure that the insurance payer has no reason to deny them. Submitting a “clean claim” from the start can have a more significant impact on your net collections than any other step in your billing workflow. Net collections and accounts receivable (AR) can improve significantly when claims are clean from the start.
