DENVER, Colorado - The Chiropractic Centennial Historic Exhibit that was displayed during the Chiropractic Centennial celebrations in Washington, D.C., (July 6-9, 1995) and Davenport, Iowa (September 14-17, 1995) was on the road in the mile-high city this April. The exhibit was open to the public all month in the Helen Bonfils Theatre on the campus of the Colorado College of Chiropractic (CCC) at Teikyo Loretto Heights University.
The exhibit was prepared for the Chiropractic Centennial by R. Sofya Belair, produced by Vicomm, Inc., of Moline, Illinois, and funded by the Chiropractic Centennial Foundation in consultation with the Association for the History of Chiropractic.
The exhibit follows chiropractic's progress in its first 100 years (1895-1995), featuring sections on each of the 10 decades; the people; places; events; schools; equipment (eight antique adjusting tables); and legislation.
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?
