DALLAS, Texas -- At their September 26th meeting, the board of trustees of the Parker College of Chiropractic approved the decision to appoint Dr. Karl Parker president of the college. Parker College founder and president, Dr. James William Parker, will now hold the title of president-emeritus.
Dr. Karl Parker has been vice-president of the Parker Chiropractic Resource Foundation (PCRF) for the last 10 years, an organization founder by Dr. James Parker in 1951. The foundation has conducted the seminars of the Parker School for Professional Success (PSPS) ever since.
The Parker Board released a statement that there will be no essential change in conduct or operations in either the college or the foundation.
Dr. Jim Parker will continue to teach and work at the college, with the same offices and staff, managing the various Parker publications. He will continue his speaking schedule and teaching at the PSPS Seminars.
The shift in presidential command is seen as relieving Dr. Jim Parker of the many time-consuming responsibilities of day-to-day administration of the college, while providing him with a greater opportunity to perform in a more diverse capacity for chiropractic and Parker College.
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.

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?
