Dr. Guy Riekeman, media projects committee chair, has begun planning for the television docudrama on chiropractic for the Centennial Foundation's Grand Celebration in 1995. Dr. Riekeman has put together a list of elements the docudrama should possess, and will be sending the list to the CCF's board of trustees and media project committee members for their review.
"We have several ideas for the docudrama, but we need feedback from the CCF board and committees. The docudrama could be anything from historical to contemporary scientific to entertaining. We will present a recommendation at the September 18th meeting based on the feedback we receive," said Dr. Riekeman.
Dr. Riekeman's tentative goal is to have a script done by January 1994. From there, a production company will be selected and production will begin in the spring and summer of 1994. Release of the docudrama is scheduled for January 1995.
The Chiropractic Centennial Foundation (CCF) is inviting all organizations and colleges to meet with the CCF board of trustees and advisory committee on Saturday, September 18, 1993 in Davenport, Iowa.
It is hoped that representatives from each college, and from the national, state, country, and provincial associations will attend this important meeting.
"We want everyone to come, regardless if they are members of the CCF or not," said Dr. William F. Holmberg, Centennial Foundation president. "It's important that we all come together and meet, and what a better day than Founder's Day?"
The meeting will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, and will be followed by a dinner. Anyone interested in attending the meeting should contact:

When sports chiropractors first appeared at the Olympic Games in the 1980s, it was alongside individual athletes who had experienced the benefits of chiropractic care in their training and recovery processes at home. Fast forward to Paris 2024, where chiropractic care was available in the polyclinic for all athletes, and the attitude has now evolved to recognize that “every athlete deserves access to sports chiropractic."
It is estimated that 61% of patients with CTS avoid taking surgical options due to postoperative complications and costly surgical procedures. Chiropractic care offers a comprehensive and effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, addressing the condition from multiple angles. Recent studies also have unveiled a game-changing adjunct to chiropractic treatments for CTS: nerve flossing.
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?
