MARIETTA, GA - Beginning April 28, 2001, Life University will sponsor the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association's 120-hour pediatric certification program. After the completion of the first year, DCs can elect to continue their education and training to receive diplomate status, which involves an additional two years of study.
The diplomate program was designed by Claudia Anrig, past president of the ICPA, author of Chiropractic Pediatrics, and pediatric columnist for Dynamic Chiropractic. This new 240-hour program will provide the DC with pertinent information and advanced technique skills taught by a variety of speakers in an innovative manner.
Doctors previously certified within the last three years will be credited with the first 120 hours of instruction, and may begin year two of the program. DCs certified through the ICPA pediatric program more than three years ago may be required to take refresher courses to be admitted into the diplomate program's second year.
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?
