Dr. Michael Hulsebus of Rockford, Illinois, was elected to the Chiropractic Centennial Foundation (CCF) Board of Trustees at the Foundation's meeting in September. He will represent the International Chiropractors Association (ICA), replacing Dr. Frank Bemis.
Among his awards and honors, Dr. Hulsebus was named "Chiropractor of the Year" by the Illinois Prairie State Chiropractic Association in 1988. He was named a "Distinguished Fellow of the ICA" in 1984, and presently serves as the Illinois state president of the Palmer College of Chiropractic International Alumni Association.
The Georgia Chiropractic Association and the Maine Chiropractic Association are the most recent state associations to join the CCF, bringing the total number of state associations to 45.
The most recent international association to join the CCF was the Associazione Italiana Chiropractici of Genoa, Italy. This brings the number of international associations to six. Other members include: the Asociacion Espanola de Quiropractica of Spain, the British Chiropractic Association, the Chiropractic Council of Japan, the Norwegian Chiropractors' Association, and the Association of Swiss Chiropractors.
"We're striving to get every state, country, and provincial association to join," said Dr. William F. Holmberg, CCF president. "State association dues are only $1,250 which can be paid in increments until 1995. We encourage these state associations to commit to the CCF as grassroots representatives of the chiropractic centennial."

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?
