DES MOINES, Iowa-The Foundation for Chiropractic Education and Research (FCER) has announced a new partnership with King Koil, the well-known mattress company.
Established in 1898, King Koil is under new management with President Larry McKay. The company is unveiling a new line of mattresses that will include the Spinal Contour, Perfect Contour, and Perfect Contour Extraordinaire. The new designs have undergone extensive independent industry testing. The rigorous testing of the new designs, and King Koil's record of quality control, led the FCER to endorse the company's products.
"We feel very comfortable with the product and the people behind the product," said Vincent Lucido,DC, president of the FCER. "We can recommend with confidence King Koil bedding."
The FCER and King Koil partnership became official April 1, 2002. King Koil is establishing a program that will allow FCER members and their patients significant discounts on King Koil mattresses.
"King Koil is excited about our new partnership with FCER," said King Koil President McKay. "This will give us the opportunity to support chiropractic research and other important projects that FCER is involved in."
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.

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?
