Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

Tom Campbell, DC, (R-Roy) is in his third term in the Washington State House of Representatives. He is serving again on the health committee and as vice chairman of three committees: state government, children and family services, and rules.

Rep. Tom Campbell supported the effort to place into law the "any category of provider" provision which requires all licensed providers to be included in all policies in the state.

"The all category of provider law is changing the health insurance industry in our state," he told a recent gathering. "It will help patients to choose what is best for them, not what's best for the insurance industry. This law is among my most satisfying accomplishments in the legislature."

Dr. Campbell is a Life graduate, and has owned and operated a chiropratic clinic is Spanaway since 1983. He represents the 2nd legislative district in Pierce County, Washington.

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.
