The National Chiropractic Mutual Insurance Company (NCMIC) presented the Chiropractic Centennial Foundation (CCF) with a check for $100,000 at the CCF's board meeting in Chicago on February 18th. This is the first disbursement of the $300,000 that NCMIC pledged to the CCF, making it the first Elite Club Super Sponsor (see the February 12th issue of "DC").

"NCMIC considers itself part of the chiropractic family," said company Executive Vice President Larry Rister. "If it wasn't for chiropractic, we wouldn't be in business. We are supportive of any major event in chiropractic and the Grand Celebration is a premier event."

Standard Process Labs, Inc., of Wisconsin, has also pledged $300,000 to the Centennial Foundation, making it the second Elite Club Super Sponsor.

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics
From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success. But while pain reduction is meaningful, it is an incomplete and often misleading representation of recovery. This has real consequences for patient adherence, long-term outcomes, and how conservative care is perceived within the broader healthcare system.
