Original Historical Paintings to Auction at Centennial Celebrations
Dynamic Chiropractic Staff
"The Spears Hospital," a 16" x 10" painting rendered by artist Robert Lawson of Kalamazoo,
Michigan, is one of six commemorative artworks up for auction at the Washington, D.C.,
centennial celebration. Six more paintings will be auctioned at the Davenport, Iowa celebration.
To commemorate the chiropractic profession's rich and colorful heritage, the Chiropractic Centennial Foundation (CCF) has commissioned 12 original oil or acrylic paintings depicting great moments in the story of chiropractic. These historic artworks will enrich the visual quality of chiropractic publications for years to come. Additionally, 12 individuals or institutions will have the opportunity to own the originals.
Six of the original art works will be sold by silent auction at the Washington D.C., centennial celebration. The second six will be auctioned at the Davenport centennial celebration. If you would like to make a bid by silent auction and are not able to attend either celebration venue, you may mail or fax your offer to:

Building on a historic March 2026 meeting between Make America Healthy Again and chiropractic leadership, MAHA has announced the launch of the MAHA Chiropractic Hub, “a coordinated national partnership uniting MAHA Center, MAHA Action, and the chiropractic profession, including national associations, state organizations, practitioners, educators, researchers, and patient advocates. The Chiropractic Hub will advance federal policy, expand patient access, and build broad public support for chiropractic care across America.”
The chiropractic profession is confronting one of the most significant federal regulatory threats it has faced in decades. A new U.S. Department of Education (ED) accountability framework – commonly referred to as the “Do No Harm” (DNH) regulation – could place many chiropractic programs at risk of losing access to federal financial aid (student loans), potentially reshaping the future of chiropractic education and workforce development across the United States.
Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success. But while pain reduction is meaningful, it is an incomplete and often misleading representation of recovery. This has real consequences for patient adherence, long-term outcomes, and how conservative care is perceived within the broader healthcare system.
