Mayor Wellington Webb issued a proclamation which will make every September 18th "Chiropractic Day" in Denver, Colorado.
September 18th marked the start of the Colorado Chiropractic Association's 64th annual meeting in Denver. It also signified a special moment in chiropractic history: the 103rd anniversary of D.D. Palmer's adjustment of Harvey Lillard.
In recognition of that historic occasion, and as part of the association's effort to promote the benefits of chiropractic care, the CCA also celebrated the second anniversary of Denver Mayor Wellington Webb's signing of a proclamation which officially made every September 18th "Chiropractic Day" in Denver.
In his proclamation, which was signed on August 20, 1997, Mayor Webb acknowledged chiropractic as the largest licensed noninvasive form of health care in the world. He also paid notice to the educational training that chiropractors receive before earning their degree, "surpassing their medical counterparts in the study of anatomy and physiology."
The full text of Mayor Webb's proclamation is as follows:
Whereas,
Chiropractic is the largest licensed, drug-free, non invasive health care method in the world; and
Whereas,
The first chiropractic adjustment was made on September 18, 1895; and
Whereas,
The Colorado Chiropractic Association's purpose is to preserve the philosophy, science, and art of chiropractic; promote the benefits of chiropractic health care to the public; and to protect the professional welfare for the Association's membership; and
Whereas,
In the United States chiropractors are licensed and hold advanced degrees in the area of physical medicine. Doctors of chiropractic complete a minimum of four years of postgraduate education, surpassing their medical counterparts in the study of anatomy and physiology; and
Whereas,
Chiropractic Day is being established to honor those who practice this healing art and those who benefit from it.
Now, therefore, I, Wellington E. Webb, Mayor of the City and County of Denver, Colorado, by virtue of the authority vested in me, do hereby officially proclaim every September 18 to be known as:
"Chiropractic Day"
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and cased the official seal of the City and County of Denver to be affixed this 20th day of August, 1997.
Wellington E. Webb, Mayor
The National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association (NUCCA) was formed by Ralph Gregory, DC, one of the pioneers of the Grostic technique, in 1966. The association holds conferences twice a year to allow members to upgrade their adjusting skills and to learn the latest in chiropractic research and interpretation of data.
At NUCCA's most recent meeting in San Francisco, the association elected a new set of board officers and board members, including Dr. Robert Goodman, a 1989 graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic. "This board of directors will build on the strengths and experience of past members and inject new input and energy to take NUCCA to the next level of development and exposure."
"NUCCA has always been a close-knit, lower profile organization in chiropractic," said Daniel Seaman, PhD, the association's executive director. "We're always trying to build a better mousetrap; now we're going to focus on getting the word out. We intend to get more information to the colleges, the profession and the public at large."
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?
