Referee Derrick Stafford prepares to officiate a game.
Cummings, Georgia practitioner David Levinson was a guest speaker at the convention for National Basketball Association referees February 13, 1995, the day after the NBA All-Star game. He spoke to 50 referees on the efficacy of chiropractic, and the profession's ever-increasing contribution in the field of sports/health fitness. Dr. Levinson treats referees at his office and at the Atlanta Hawks home games in the Omni.
Because of the physical grueling demands of officiating NBA games, Dr. Levinson proposed to the referees a plan that would make chiropractic care available to them in every NBA city. Because of the interest the referees exhibited in chiropractic, Dr. Levinson is organizing a group of chiropractors to treat the referees.
If you interested in participating in such a program, you may contact Dr. Levinson at 563 Lakeland Plaza, Cumming, GA 30130, Tele: (404) 781-9050; Fax: (404) 688-7250.

Life Strengths Ties to China
Renewing a liaison forged in 1988, Life College President Dr. Sid Williams and Dr. Zhu Yunlong, director of the Institute of Orthopaedics and Traumatology at the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Beijing, signed an agreement at Life to continue joint efforts to introduce chiropractic in China.
The agreement is part of the Life Around the World (LAW) program, which is designed to establish chiropractic research clinics as joint efforts between DCs in the program and MDs in other countries. The new agreement expands upon the terms of the original 1988 agreement. The focus in 1988 was to introduce chiropractic to the Chinese population; the next step is to conduct joint research between the Institute of Orthopaedics and Traumatology and the LAW clinic. There was also an agreement to provide academic exchange programs.
The implications of the program are far-reaching, according to Dr. Zhu: "The agreement for research and faculty exchanges and student exchanges will help bring chiropractic to China as primary health care. Working together, the goal is to give the people health."
The 1995 Third National Subluxation Conference, scheduled for October 21-22, 1995 in St. Louis, Missouri, is soliciting chiropractic presentations. Presentation proposals submitted for consideration will not be returned and must include:
The deadline for submitting abstracts is May 12, 1995, and all proposers will be notified of the status of their papers by June 30, 1995.
Proposal forms or any questions should be directed to the Sherman College Dept. of Continuing Education, 1-800-849-8771, ext. 29.
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?
