The annual meeting of the American Public Health Association (APHA) will be held this year in San Francisco, California, October 24-28.
The APHA is the oldest, largest, and most influential public health association in the the world. Since 1983 the APHA has recognized chiropractic as "...safe and effective for neuromusculoskeletal disorders, and especially low back problems..." Over 500 DCs are now members of APHA.
The APHA's annual fall meeting is the largest public health gathering in the world. It's anticipated that some 12,000 health leaders from the local, state, national, and international community will attend, including government representatives worldwide.
The meeting will include three full sessions dedicated to chiropractic topics, and chiropractic scientific and technical papers will be presented.
Again this year, there will be chiropractic booths in the exhibit hall.
Chiropractic practitioners, educators, and students are urged to join and renew memberships in the APHA.

Back pain? Blame the psoas. Seems as if everybody wants to dive headfirst into their psoas at the first sign of trouble with the lumbopelvic-hip region. Perhaps no other muscle is blamed more for causing problems than the psoas. Yes, it is an important stabilizer of the lumbar spine, but it shouldn't be the only one on which you focus. There is another big player on the scene: the iliacus.
Two closely related viruses of herpes simplex, HSV-1 and HSV-2, can infect the human body. HSV-1 mostly infects the gums and skin, although it can cause more serious infection in the brain. HSV-2 mostly infects around the genital area. Infection with the virus can be unsightly and painful, especially for HSV-2.
What’s the simplest way to ensure prompt payment for your claims? Ensure that the insurance payer has no reason to deny them. Submitting a “clean claim” from the start can have a more significant impact on your net collections than any other step in your billing workflow. Net collections and accounts receivable (AR) can improve significantly when claims are clean from the start.
