A Gift with a Challenge: NICR Fund Raising Approaches Goal

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

In the November 6, 1992 issue of "DC," we reported that Dr. William Harris, president and founder of the Foundation for the Advancement of Chiropractic Education (FACE), had donated $100,000 to the National Institute of Chiropractic Research (NICR) for research under way at Arizona State University.

Dr. Harris pledged that if the NICR could raise $100,000 by January 15, 1993, that FACE would give an additional $100,000 to the NICR.

As of December 10, 1992, the NICR has raised $75,000, as depicted on the barometer graph below.

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.

The Missing Link in Midlife Female Musculoskeletal Pain
The Missing Link in Midlife Female Musculoskeletal Pain

Musculoskeletal pain in perimenopause and menopause reflects a broader physiologic shift rather than an isolated structural problem. Declining estrogen, increased inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and nervous system dysregulation collectively alter tissue quality, pain perception, and recovery capacity. Recognizing this interconnected model enables clinicians to move beyond symptom management and toward more effective, systems-based care that improves long-term outcomes for midlife women.

Dolly Parton's Connection to Chiropractic

As the world remembers Dolly Parton following her death Aug. 25 at age 80, there is a little-known connection to the chiropractic profession worth revisiting: Dolly publicly acknowledged using chiropractic care and another famous entertainer even recalled meeting her at a chiropractor's office.
