And while it's not unusual for proud parents, spouses, siblings and other relatives to attend the occasion, when Nigerian Christiana Obebe graduated from New York Chiropractic College in August, about a dozen of her relations flew in from Nigeria for the ceremony.
Christiana was one of 78 graduating, and one of 30 graduates inducted into NYCC's Phi Chi Omega Chiropractic Honor Society at an award's ceremony held the evening before the commencement.
The awards ceremony featured a special tribute in memory of classmate Trevor Bader, who died in Dec. 1995 while on vacation in Mexico. A brass sundial was donated in his memory by the graduating class. The sundial will be placed in NYCC's Memorial Park.
Each year, the board of directors of the New York Special Olympics recognizes an individual or group for their efforts to enhance the Special Olympics organization.

The award will be presented to NYCC representatives at an Oct. 18th ceremony at the New York State Police Academy in Albany.
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.

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?
