The Art of Chiropractic: Six Original Historical Paintings to Auction at Davenport Centennial
Editorial Staff
"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.
The five other original paintings for the silent auction at the Davenport centennial celebration:
"Women in Chiropractic" by Robert Lawson, Kalamazoo, Michigan (12" x 14") "B.J. Palmer at Lyceum" by Ted McElhiney, LeClaire, Iowa (36" x 34") "Willard Carver and the Oklahoma Legislature" by Robert Lawson, Kalamazoo, Michigan (13" x 13") "The Struggle for Licensure" by Jack Smith, Cape Coral, Florida (28" x 22") "Going to Jail for Chiropractic" by Robert Lawson, Kalamazoo, Michigan (18" x 12")
As a practitioner, you know foot pain should be addressed as soon as possible, as pain in one or both feet can potentially lead to impairment of foot function. But rather than treating foot pain with over-the-counter pain and anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen, or prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or even corticosteroid injections for chronic foot pain, why not try red light / infrared therapy?
The recent systematic review by the Clinical Compass on spine-related musculoskeletal pain – the latest study comparing chiropractic vs. medical care that demonstrates lower health care utilization when a DC is the initial provider – has been voted the top published article for 2024 by Chiropractic and Manual Therapies.
There is great interest among the tribes in expanding access to chiropractic for their tribal members; however, there is confusion as to how to do it; as well as a lack of knowledge in the greater chiropractic community of the need and process. This article is intended to help bring awareness to the issue and be a guide for those interested in working in this arena.
