New York Chiropractic College (NYCC)'s President Dr. Kenneth Padgett, unanimously elected to the position in 1989, has accepted a new five-year contract which will extend his presidency through 1997. The NYCC board of trustees voted both to renew and extend the contract.
Before serving in his current position, Dr. Padgett had a practice in Seneca County for 35 years. Dr. Padgett is past president of both the New York State Chiropractic Association and the ACA.
Dr. Edwin M. Kenrick is the new chairman of NYCC's board of trustees. A trustee since 1988, Dr. Kenrick has served as a member of the committees on trustees, international affairs, and facilities.
He chaired the long-range planning committee for NYCC, and was instrumental in overseeing the construction of the college's new 286 acre campus in Seneca Falls, New York. NYCC was established in 1919, and moved to upstate New York in 1991.
Dr. Kenrick is a former trustee of the FCER, and has been in practice for over 30 years. Dr. Kenrick was the first president of the ACA to serve two terms (1980-82), and also sat on its board of governors. He was given the ACA's ultimate honor in 1988, "Chiropractor of the Year."
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?
