Dear DC

Bruce Kniegge

I just want to express my heart-felt thanks to you and all the doctors who have responded to the article you published about my shooting in Honduras. The response from the chiropractic community was fantastic. My wife and I cried as we read the letters and cards sent by many well wishers. The financial response was enough to help cover the extra costs of my surgery, flights, and a future prosthesis.

My health is very good, and my full strength is back. I have no pain and have just been fitted with a temporary ceramic eye. I will get a more permanent type of eye in June. I am getting used to the loss of this important item in my body. I praise God for two of them and that I still have my life and the use of my other eye. I still have my hands, so I can provide effective chiropractic care also.

Again, thank you for your help. Your prayers and your support in all ways.

Serving "Him" in Honduras.

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.
