Some in the profession may want to limit our Chiropractic Centennial to a weekend event: a birthday party at which a few thousand DCs will celebrate the birth of chiropractic. Yes, it is that. But it is MORE!
Others want to see this as a time of increased media exposure: a year of parades, advertisements in newspapers and magazines, and television spots. Yes, if we all work together and do our share, it will be that. But it can be MORE!
Still others are hoping against all odds for what has only been dreamed of: looking forward to a time of unity. There is no reason why this entire profession can't put aside all of our differences and gather around our Chiropractic Centennial. Yes, there is no reason why it couldn't be that. But it could still be MORE!
Look at the Chiropractic Centennial Foundation's Board of Trustees. The board is comprised of representatives of the ACA, ICA, Association of Chiropractic Colleges, World Federation of Chiropractic, National Board of Chiropractic Examiners, Association for Chiropractic History, and Palmer College of Chiropractic. Notice too, the 15 chiropractic colleges that are all Institutional Members. Have you ever seen these most prestigious organizations all come together for any other cause or event in the history of the profession?
Read the list of members of the CCF Advisory Committee. Every member of the profession should recognize most of the names. These are some of the major "movers and shakers" in chiropractic. Have you EVER know many of these individuals to work together on anything?!?
This is not to suggest that any of the individuals involved in the Chiropractic Centennial are anything more than what they are; they have their own accomplishments and reputations. But together, these people and organizations form a foundation the likes of which has never been seen before.
This is why we can expect MORE.
The concept is called synergy. It basically means that by coming together for the sake of the profession under the banner of the Chiropractic Centennial, we can achieve MORE.
Soon, you will be encouraged to become part of this synergy. The profession will be depending on you to make the Centennial MORE.
Our Chiropractic Centennial can't be all it can be without you. Don't let this event be ordinary. Do your part to make it MORE.
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?
