Financial pressure, enrollment declines and institutional challenges are emerging at several U.S. chiropractic colleges. Life Chiropractic College West's and Life University's struggles may be the most talked about but appear to be part of a larger story. And with recent USDE requirements threatening to hamstring federal student financing for DC degree programs, chiropractic education is facing questions for which it has no immediate answers.

Chiro-Serve, owned by the P.O.I.N.T. Corp., turned off its lines on August 17th, ending its chiropractic information Internet service to focus on its business interests in the field of oncology.
Dennis Callahan, CEO of the P.O.I.N.T. Corp., explained the decision: "During our two-year relationship with chiropractic, many leaders have stepped forward and have been active participants in leading the way, however, too few have followed."
Chiro-Serve's departure leaves two chiropractic Internet services standing:
- Chirolink, Dr. John Miller (408) 356-8708
- CHIROLARS, Dr. Ronald Rupert (817) 898-0234
In the official statement from Chiro-Serve, Mr. Callahan thanked the leadership of the chiropractic colleges and state and national organizations who used the service, and who actively encouraged alumni and members to participate.
