A group of New York based chiropractors has created the Universal Chiropractic Foundation (UCF), a nonprofit organization committed to forming free centers devoted exclusively to children.
The UCF, though young in chronology, like the kids it benefits, is led by Chairman Pasquale Cerasoli, a 50 year chiropractic veteran. Drs. Cerasoli, Herold, Ravener, and DiBenedetto provide free chiropractic adjustments to all children under 13 years.
Thousands of adjustments later, the group seeks to spread the important message that chiropractic is good for kids: a timely message, given the current trend among some media to try and project chiropractic pediatrics as dangerous (Wall Street Journal and "20/20").
"We envision one day to have a children's chiropractic center that will serve thousand of kids each week and draw worldwide attention," explained Todd Herold, DC, president of UCF. The goal, he says, is to make chiropractic a household word. "We expect satellite offices globally," he added.
While the UCF receives tax deductible donations, sometimes a few dollars, sometimes thousands, the group acknowledges it will take millions of dollars to fulfill their vision.

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?
