On July 15, 1993, Terry A. Rondberg, DC, filed a lawsuit in the superior court of the state of Arizona against "James J. Badge, DC, Chairman of the Arizona Board of Chiropractic Examiners; Donald M. Petersen, Jr.; and The Dynamic Chiropractic, Inc.(sic); Motion Palpation Institute, Inc., a nonprofit California Corporation."
The suit alleges: "Violation of Civil Rights"; "Interference of Contractual and/or Business Relations"; "Defamation"; "Fraud"; and "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress."
When "DC" contacted Dr. Rondberg for an interview regarding the case, his office office gave this reply:
"Dr. Rondberg is out of town until August 31st, and is unavailable by either telephone or fax. However, I did contact his attorney and in response to your fax of August 4th, because of the litigation involved, Dr. Rondberg declines to be interviewed at this time."Dr. Badge, who officially stepped down as chairman of the Arizona Board July 8, 1993, is being represented by Lisa Daniel of the Arizona Attorneys General Insurance Defense Division.
MPI's attorney Michael Schroeder made this comment:
"Dr. Ronberg's frivolous lawsuit is a transparent attempt to divert attention away from his involvement in the AzSCAM political corruption scandal and from his upcoming license discipline hearing. Dynamic Chiropractic and Donald Petersen will be fully vindicated at the conclusion of this matter."It is anticipated that Dr. Badge's term on the Arizona Board will expire before Dr. Rondberg's hearing August 31 -- September 1.
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?
