League City Chiropractor Runs for City Council

Dr. Hamid Kantara, a 1995 graduate of Texas Chiropractic College and president and founder of the American Middle Eastern Chiropractic Association, has decided to enter the world of local politics. Dr. Kantara has announced his candidacy for a seat on the city council in League City, a midsize city of 50,000 located approximately 25 miles southeast of Houston.

Dr. Kantara's candidacy letter is as follows:

After serving the community of League City, Texas as an EMT and paramedic for over four years, I am now ready to serve my community, a population of 50,000, in a different capacity. Therefore, I have decided to run for city council on May 1, 1999. While special interest groups support the other candidates, I am running independently represented by my family, friends and those who have witnessed my dedication to my community.

In order to campaign successfully for this non-expired seat, I am reaching for my friends, fellow chiropractors and chiropractic advocates for campaign donations. For more information, you can visit my website at http://www.flash.net/~drhameed and/or call my office at (713) 782-7775. Campaign donations, however small they are, are welcomed at 7575 San Felipe, Suite 125B, Houston, TX 77063.

I thank you for your support and generosity.

Hamid Kantara, DC

Would You Rather Be a Chiropractic Therapist?
Would You Rather Be a Chiropractic Therapist?

Because they have yet to pass national legislation protecting the chiropractic profession, Japanese DCs are in a similar situation that U.S. DCs faced. We were fortunate enough to be able to pass chiropractic licensure state by state. The DCs in Japan must accomplish this nationally, which has proved to be an extremely difficult task. And in spite of their efforts, Japanese DCs are currently faced with two chiropractic professions.

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.
