ARLINGTON, Virginia -- Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole and Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich will give their perspectives on health care reform at a March 9th luncheon of the American Chiropractic Association's 1995 National Chiropractic Legislative Conference (NCLC).

Senator Dole is a leading candidate for the 1996 GOP presidential nomination. Congressman Gingrich has announced he will not seek the nomination in 1996.

The ACA is touting the conference (March 9-10) as one of the most important conferences of the year. Also speaking at the conference will be senators Tom Harkin (D-IA), John Chafee (R-RI), Strom Thurmond (R-SC), and congressmen Bill Brewster (D-OK) and Bill Thomas (R-CA).

ACA Executive Vice President J. Ray Morgan said it was the "perfect time for DCs to convene in the nation's capitol to send a unified message to the new GOP majority."

The Missing Link in Midlife Female Musculoskeletal Pain
The Missing Link in Midlife Female Musculoskeletal Pain

Musculoskeletal pain in perimenopause and menopause reflects a broader physiologic shift rather than an isolated structural problem. Declining estrogen, increased inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and nervous system dysregulation collectively alter tissue quality, pain perception, and recovery capacity. Recognizing this interconnected model enables clinicians to move beyond symptom management and toward more effective, systems-based care that improves long-term outcomes for midlife women.

As the world remembers Dolly Parton following her death Aug. 25 at age 80, there is a little-known connection to the chiropractic profession worth revisiting: Dolly publicly acknowledged using chiropractic care and another famous entertainer even recalled meeting her at a chiropractor's office.
