Everything's coming up roses for the Chiropractic Centennial Foundation. On January 13, the Foundation accepted a long-awaited invitation to participate in the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade January 2, 1995.
"In inviting the Chiropractic Centennial Foundation to participate in the Tournament of Roses, we recognize the important contribution the chiropractic profession makes in improving individuals' health and well being," said Michael Ward, president of the Tournament of Roses.
The invitation was the culmination of two and one-half years of work by the Chiropractic Centennial Foundation, Donald Petersen Jr., and Michael Schroeder, who head the CCF's Special Projects Committee.
"I'm elated," said Michael Schroeder, "not only by this invitation, but also by the Tournament of Roses' clear recognition of the importance of the chiropractic profession to the public's health and well being."
"The Chiropractic Centennial is fast becoming a reality," said CCF President William Holmberg, DC. "The Rose Parade will be an exciting international event that will allow chiropractors around the world to share in the excitement of our 100 anniversary."
The Rose Parade is an event viewed by some 318 million people in over 80 countries. The theme for the 1995 Rose Parade is "SPORTS -- Quest for Excellence."
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?
