The Indiana State Chiropractic Association recently wrapped up the eighth year of its "Chiropractor of the Day" program at the Indiana General Assembly. The program, which is steered by Dr. Peg VanDenburgh, allows legislators, other state-elected officials and their staffs to receive complimentary chiropractic care during the legislative session.
For the third straight year, the ISCA's program was held directly in the chambers of the Indiana House of Representatives. The program offered chiropractic care on Tuesdays and Thursdays, January 8 through February 26.
Of all patient visits recorded during that time, nearly half came from the state's representatives and senators.
BLOOMINGTON, Minnesota -- More than two dozen students and doctors of chiropractic attended the mid-January American Black Chiropractic Association's Region II conference, hosted by Northwestern College of Chiropractic. Region II comprises the 18 states in the central time zone. The students from the chiropractic colleges in that region that attended were from National, Logan, Palmer, and Northwestern. No students from CCCKC, Parker and TCC were in attendance.
Issues discussed at the meeting included student mentoring, fundraising and community outreach.
"Our college is interested in building stronger ties with the ABCA and the student ABCA," said Henry Kaynes, PhD, director of admissions for Northwestern. "We've been working on a variety of projects with the ABCA."
At Northwestern College of Chiropractic's homecoming in February six of the college's alumni were reelected as directors to the Alumni Association: Kara Arne, DC; Barbro Brost, DC; Richard Greene, DC; Thomas Tjornhom, DC; and Zach Zachman, DC, were all reelected to four-year terms. Dr. Kathy Bloom, a 1984 graduate of NWCC, was elected to serve a one-year interim term.
In addition, 23 scholarships totaling $15,650 were awarded during the college's annual alumni luncheon:

When sports chiropractors first appeared at the Olympic Games in the 1980s, it was alongside individual athletes who had experienced the benefits of chiropractic care in their training and recovery processes at home. Fast forward to Paris 2024, where chiropractic care was available in the polyclinic for all athletes, and the attitude has now evolved to recognize that “every athlete deserves access to sports chiropractic."
It is estimated that 61% of patients with CTS avoid taking surgical options due to postoperative complications and costly surgical procedures. Chiropractic care offers a comprehensive and effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, addressing the condition from multiple angles. Recent studies also have unveiled a game-changing adjunct to chiropractic treatments for CTS: nerve flossing.
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?
