An international conference on chiropractic clinical education will be held October 26-29, 2002 in São Paulo, Brazil. The event is co-sponsored by the World Federation of Chiropractic (WFC), the Association of Chiropractic Colleges (ACC), and the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE).
The conference seeks to bring together leaders from chiropractic education and practice around the world to discuss improving and integrating preclinical and clinical education. Some of the conference goals are: to define the core clinical skills necessary for tomorrow's chiropractors, how to achieve them in today's chiropractic education, and how to promote a consistent, clinical approach to chiropractic practice at chiropractic colleges around the world.
The conference program directors are Dr. Jean Moss, president of the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto, and Dr. Charles Sawyer, senior vicepresident, Northwestern Health Sciences University, Minnesota.
Those wishing to make a formal presentation need to file a paper (500-1,000 words) by June 30, 2002. Everyone attending, however, will participate in the many panel and discussion sessions.
For further details about the conference, go to the Notice, Program, Call for Papers and Registration Form links at www.wfc.org, or contact Satvinder Jhaj-Scott at sjhaj-scott@wfc.org.
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?
