"The First Adjustment," a 24" x 18" painting rendered by artists John Dyess of St. Louis, Missouri, is one of six commemorative artworks up for auction at the Davenport, Iowa centennial celebration. Six other paintings were already auctioned at the Washington, D.C. celebration.
To commemorate the chiropractic profession's fascinating and colorful heritage, the Chiropractic Centennial Foundation (CCF) commissioned 12 original oil or acrylic paintings depicting great moments in the history of chiropractic. These works of art are certain to enrich the visual quality of chiropractic publications for years to come.
The CCF offered the wonderful opportunity for individual DCs to own some of these original paintings when six of them were auctioned at the Washington, D.C. centennial celebration (see the June 5, 1995 issue of "DC"). Now, the second six paintings will be sold by silent auction at the Davenport celebration, with a minimum bid for each painting at $1,500. If you would like to make a bid by silent auction and are not able to attend the Davenport centennial celebration, you may mail or fax your offer to: Chiropractic Centennial Foundation, Commemorative Art Auction, P.O. Box 4522, Davenport, IA 52808-4522, FAX: (319) 326-8409.

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?
