Proclamation
WHEREAS, the Chiropractic profession was founded September 18, 1895 by Daniel David Palmer in Davenport, Iowa in the United States of America, and therefore the Centennial of Chiropractic was celebrated on September 18, 1995; and
WHEREAS, the profession of Chiropractic is now practiced by Doctors of Chiropractic throughout the world, including 50,000 in the United States of America and 9300 in the State of California; and
WHEREAS, contemporary standards in chiropractic education, research and practice have led to ever broadening acceptance of the benefits of chiropractic health care by the public and the health care community; and
WHEREAS, each year millions of Americans now choose Chiropractic care for the restoration and maintenance of their health by natural methods and without the use of drugs or surgery.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOAN DARRAH, as Mayor of the City of Stockton and on behalf of the Stockton City Council do hereby proclaim September 18, 1995 as the
100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CHIROPRACTIC PROFESSION
and officially acknowledge the significant contribution that Chiropractic has made to the health and welfare of Americans throughout our state and country.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the City of Stockton to be affixed this 30th day of October, Nineteen Hundred and Ninety-Five.
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?
