DC Runs for Congress in Georgia
Dr. Rosemary Kaszans, a 1979 Life graduate, has recently qualified to run for Congress as a democrat in Georgia's first Congressional district. She is an elected member of the Glynn County Democratic Executive Committee, the 1st vice president of the Glynn County chapter of the Georgia Federation of Democratic Women, and founder of an environmental activist group Glynn Environmental Coalition.
Although Dr. Kaszans is not an advocate of "big government," she says that she is strongly in favor of efficient federal programs. "There is a place in our lives for important government input," she stated. "I also firmly believe we can balance the federal budget, not on the aching backs of our elderly and on the growing spines of our children, but by cutting government waste, aggressively prosecuting fraud and cheating, and by showing wise prudence in defense spending."

The AHC is the only membership organization in the chiropractic profession committed to the scholarly preservation of the profession's heritage.

Recently, members of the Patient Education Club at Palmer College presented two programs on fitness, exercise, and posture screening to employees at Rock Island, Illinois Military Arsenal. The "Fit to Win" presentations take place at lunch time and include discussions on nutrition, exercise, posture, strength training, and chiropractic.
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?
