The Massachusetts Chiropractic Society (MCS) has named Dr. Peter Hill of Boston as their "Chiropractor of the Year" for his outstanding service. The award was presented during the MCS convention in Sturbridge.

Dr. Hill has been the vice president of the MCS since 1993 and has served on the board since 1991. He was the president of the Greater Boston Chiropractic Society (1989-1995) and is a member of both national chiropractic associations.

Dr. Hill devised and implemented the MCS advertising program for radio, TV and billboards, and helped give the MCS a presence on the web. He also spearheaded a letter-writing campaign to include chiropractic care in all health plans.

Dr. Hill has been in private practice since 1986. He resides in Weston with wife Barbara and daughters Hannah and Melissa.

Should You Use Cash, Loan or Lease for Equipment Purchases?
Should You Use Cash, Loan or Lease for Equipment Purchases?

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?

Chiropractic at Risk Globally
Chiropractic at Risk Globally

There has long been an attempt by those who are not legitimate doctors of chiropractic to usurp the title of chiropractor from those who have earned their degree from an accredited chiropractic program. This generally happens in countries where the local doctors of chiropractic have yet to pass legislation requiring a degree from an accredited institution. The result is essentially two chiropractic professions. Nowhere is this danger more pronounced than in Japan.
