The Association of Chiropractic Colleges (ACC) invites the submission of abstracts for its first annual Conference on Chiropractic Clinical Research to be held in conjunction with the annual ACC Conference on March 12-14, 1998 in Las Vegas, Nevada. This is the first time that the ACC has formally supported the research community in bringing research to the academic community. It is the association's intent to make this a regular part of their annual meeting.
Abstracts will be judged and assigned to either platform or poster presentations. If you have a preference, please indicate your choice on the abstract form. Platform presentations will be in lecture format and will be limited to 10 minutes. Poster presentations allow conference attendees a unique opportunity to speak directly with the authors. Authors often receive new insights from interested viewers and new collaborative relationships may develop from these interactions.
Posters will be on display in a prominent location for the duration of the conference. During the conference, time for viewing of the posters with the presenter will be set aside. Presenters will be scheduled to attend their poster during two poster presentation periods (1-2 hours each), but conference attendees are free to view the posters throughout the conference.
The ACC is keenly interested in soliciting platform and poster presentations, including submissions from qualified students, for the following topics:

In your abstract, please state the objectives. If research is presented, state the problem addressed, describe the scientific methods employed, results obtained, and briefly explain the significance of your findings. If non-research information is presented, state the information and briefly explain the significance to the chiropractic profession.
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?
