Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

The American Public Health Association (APHA), the oldest, largest, and most influential public health association in the US, will hold its annual meeting in Washington, D.C. October 30-November 3, 1994. The meeting will be the largest public health gathering in the world, attended by as many as 12,000 leaders in national, state, local and international health.

Again this year, there will be chiropractic booths in the exhibit hall and chiropractic topics presented among the scientific and technical papers. There will be three full sessions dedicated to chiropractic topics this fall, including 16 papers contributed by several well-respected chiropractic authors and co-authors.

Over 850 DCs are now in the APHA, holding membership in the radiological Health Section and in the Chiropractic Forum (Special Interest Group). Chiropractic practitioners, educators, and students are urged to join and renew membership in APHA, and attend the annual meeting. For further information contact Dr. Rand Baird (310) 373-2225, Dr. Craig Nelson (612) 888-4777 ext. 154, or Dr. Herbert Vear (905) 831-9221.

Remembering Dr. Warren Hammer - A Pioneer in Soft-Tissue Care

For chiropractors practicing today, Dr. Warren Hammer’s legacy is particularly visible in several areas that have become familiar components of modern musculoskeletal care: his early work with the Graston Technique and instrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization; his extensive writing and teaching on functional soft-tissue examination and treatment; his role in bringing fascial manipulation to U.S. clinicians; and his decades spent educating chiropractors and other health professionals.

Chiropractic Colleges in Crisis

Financial pressure, enrollment declines and institutional challenges are emerging at several U.S. chiropractic colleges. Life Chiropractic College West's and Life University's struggles may be the most talked about but appear to be part of a larger story. And with recent USDE requirements threatening to hamstring federal student financing for DC degree programs, chiropractic education is facing questions for which it has no immediate answers.

Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning?
Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning?

More than 100 doctors of chiropractic participated in relief efforts following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks that left 2,753 dead and far more than the New York City skyline forever altered. Dr. Richard Gorgo Jr. was one of those DCs who selflessly donated his time, skill and compassion during that surreal, yet all-too-real moment in history. This is his remarkable story, originally published on the 10-year anniversary in 2011. Where were you when the world stopped turning? For Dr. Gorgo, the answer is Ground Zero.
