ICA, ACA Expand Discussion Forums

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

In an effort to better serve their members and the chiropractic profession at large, the American Chiropractic Association and the International Chiropractors Association have expanded and revised their discussion forums on Chiroweb.com.

Each association has added six new message boards, with subjects ranging from membership information and recent news to more specific topics such as the ICA's policies and positions and the ACA's current lawsuit against the federal government. Users are welcome to leave comments or ask questions on whichever message boards they see fit.

Each association has also revised the web address for their discussion forums to make it easier for users to remember. The address for each association's discussion board is as follows:

While aging cannot be reversed, the goal is to reduce the negative slope or “square off” the curve, thus avoiding a steady decline in health. Here are five ways to get your patients started.

How Chiropractors Can Make It the Best of Times
The Best of Times, the Worst of Times

Imagine an environment in which DCs are tightly integrated with their local healthcare system; a trusted resource for PCPs, specialists and self-insured employers; are reimbursed in alignment with value created; use modern technology enabling them to fully engage with their patients; are self-governed; and are able to maintain a fulfilling work-life balance.
