In a front page story in the Jan. 28, 1994 issue of "DC," we reported the $1,888,734 judgment awarded against Practice Management Associates (PMA) in Florida, and the involuntary bankruptcy filed on PMA in Illinois. We noted in the article that PMA attorneys had filed a motion to dismiss the involuntary bankruptcy petition.
Judge Meyers of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Illinois, has now dismissed the involuntary petition of bankruptcy.
PMA filed for dismissal on the legal grounds that an involuntary case may not be commenced when a debtor (PMA) is the subject of a bona fide dispute. The court found PMA in dispute with the petitioner of the involuntary bankruptcy (attorney Larry Beard) in litigation in DuPage County Circuit Court (Illinois), and in Circuit Court in Florida.
Based on the existence of a bona fide dispute between the petitioner and the debtor, the motion to dismiss was granted.
PMA has filed a petition for costs, attorneys' fees, and damages against the petitioning creditors and attorney Larry Beard.
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?
