Last year, Foot Levelers, Inc., inaugurated a unique series of eight seminars. Half of all seminar fees were donated by the company in a 50/50 split with the CCF and the chiropractic colleges (seminar attendees chose which chiropractic college were the beneficiaries). This philanthropic concept generated a heady $101,282.60 donation from Foot Levelers in 1992.
Foot Levelers has announced it will continue in this tradition with a second series of educational seminars, "Countdown to Centennial '93." Again half of all seminar revenue will be split between the CCF and the chiropractic colleges.
"Countdown to Centennial '93" seminars are scheduled for the following dates and locations:
Davenport, Iowa -- July 10-11
San Jose, California -- July 31-August 1
Kansas City, Missouri -- August 21-22
Atlanta, Georgia -- September 25-26
St. Louis, Missouri -- October 2-3
Newark, New Jersey -- November 6-7
Minneapolis, Minnesota -- November 13-14
The seminars will feature speakers Dr. John K. Hyland on biomechanics and rehabilitation; Dr. Paul Jaskoviak on physical therapy; Dr. Kenneth J. Murkowski on correct insurance procedures; and Dr. Monte H. Greenawalt on spinal pelvic stabilization. Dr. Russell Erhardt will be speaking at the Kansas City seminar on radiology.
The lectures will provide 12 hours of license renewal credit. Included in the $99 registration fee will be a post-seminar party.
Foot Levelers President Kent S. Greenwalt said, "We feel this is going to be an important year for chiropractic, and Foot Levelers wants to do everything it can to guarantee this profession's future."

When I graduated from chiropractic college in 1981 and started practice, I heard it all, and very little was positive. “You are a quack; you do not know what a subluxation is; you couldn’t get into a real health care program, so you chose the one that is slightly above a mail-order degree; you have no proof that chiropractic works; Are you really licensed?”, and so much more.

A central challenge in creating our identity is that chiropractic is a method of care, not a technique or procedure. This is an important concept for us to promote. Our patients are treated with lifestyle modification, exercise, nutritional supplements, diet and a whole-body approach to accelerate the natural healing process. We are not simply CMT providers.
The results of a global survey released late last year (2023) unveiled some startling findings among medical and nursing students. The “Clinician of the Future: 2023 Education Edition” surveyed 2,212 students, of which 446 were in the United States, from 91 countries.
