Success Stories, a half-hour informational/commercial program, produced a segment on the Foundation for Chiropractic Education and Research (FCER) funded by and in conjunction with the Foundation itself. The program aired May 9th.
"Success Stories" airs weekly on Saturdays from noon to 12:30 before sports on WUSA-TV, the CBS affiliate in Washington, D.C. Each program showcases three businesses.
The FCER has been working with the "Success Stories" group for several months. The eight-minute segment featured FCER President George B. McClelland, D.C., and FCER Executive Director Stephen R. Seater, CAE, responding to questions about chiropractic research and the FCER. The RAND study, the results of research projects, why the FCER has invested $1 million in randomized clinical trials, and the future of chiropractic, were all topics touched on during the program.
The segment also includes footage of DCs in their offices examining and counseling patients.
The FCER has a videotape of the "Success Stories" segment and has made it available to individual DCs. For more information call the FCER at (703) 276-7445 or 1-800-637-6244.
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?
