NYCC Hosts 'An Evening with the Masters'

40 Years in the Profession

New York Chiropractic College President Dr. Kenneth Padgett (Lincoln College of Chiropractic graduate, 1951), and NYCC technique instructors Dr. Howard Gennano (Logan, class of 1951), and Dr. Lloyd Henby (National, class of 1952) participated in a round-table discussion on chiropractic philosophy.

Each doctor has been a chiropractor for 40 years: Dr. Henby discussed when DCs were arrested for practicing medicine without a license; Dr. Gennano stressed the importance of working with national and state associations to advance the profession; and Dr. Padgett noted education's role in providing students with the "necessary components" and then allow the DCs to make the choices in "their individual philosophy and practice style."

Dr. Padgett offered this final thought: "The greatest philosophy lessons you will have will be when you are in practice and you repeatedly witness the healing potential of the chiropractic adjustment."

The Missing Link in Midlife Female Musculoskeletal Pain
The Missing Link in Midlife Female Musculoskeletal Pain

Musculoskeletal pain in perimenopause and menopause reflects a broader physiologic shift rather than an isolated structural problem. Declining estrogen, increased inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and nervous system dysregulation collectively alter tissue quality, pain perception, and recovery capacity. Recognizing this interconnected model enables clinicians to move beyond symptom management and toward more effective, systems-based care that improves long-term outcomes for midlife women.

As the world remembers Dolly Parton following her death Aug. 25 at age 80, there is a little-known connection to the chiropractic profession worth revisiting: Dolly publicly acknowledged using chiropractic care and another famous entertainer even recalled meeting her at a chiropractor's office.
