Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

Dr. Peter Martin, president of Palmer College of Chiropractic West, is on sabbatical effective July 1, 2000. Palmer Chanellor Michael Crawford said he would serve as interim president until a new president is appointed.

Mr. Crawford said Dr. Martin will continue to serve Palmer as a consultant and will finish out his term as president of the Council on Chiropractic Education.

"It should be obvious to all at Palmer West and throughout the chiropractic profession, that Dr. Martin has been instrumental in the progress made by this fine institution," said Mr. Crawford. "The relocation to the Tasman site, the enrollment gains that have assisted in providing better economic stability, and the excelling caliber of the education delivered at Palmer West have all occurred on Dr. Martin's watch. He deserves the appreciation of the entire Palmer Chiropractic community for his contribution to those and other Palmer West successes."

An all-school assembly will be held to honor Dr. Martin.

The Missing Link in Midlife Female Musculoskeletal Pain
The Missing Link in Midlife Female Musculoskeletal Pain

Musculoskeletal pain in perimenopause and menopause reflects a broader physiologic shift rather than an isolated structural problem. Declining estrogen, increased inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and nervous system dysregulation collectively alter tissue quality, pain perception, and recovery capacity. Recognizing this interconnected model enables clinicians to move beyond symptom management and toward more effective, systems-based care that improves long-term outcomes for midlife women.

As the world remembers Dolly Parton following her death Aug. 25 at age 80, there is a little-known connection to the chiropractic profession worth revisiting: Dolly publicly acknowledged using chiropractic care and another famous entertainer even recalled meeting her at a chiropractor's office.
