The benefits of chiropractic research are affecting the credibility and image of the chiropractic profession every day. The media coverage, the positive political exposure, and the enhanced relations with third-party payers (with dwindling health care dollars) have all been in part the benefits of chiropractic research.
Unfortunately, many in this profession have been riding for free, enjoying the benefits of chiropractic research without contributing their fair share. The medical profession is undoubtedly encouraged and relieved at the apathy of many DCs.
Almost every chiropractic college is involved in conducting research vital to our future. Most of the colleges are coordinating their research through the Consortium for Chiropractic Research (CCR).

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?
