The speakers for the birthday seminars are some of the most respected in the chiropractic profession: Dr. Terry Yochum, on x-ray techniques; Dr. Kim D. Christensen on biomechanics and rehabilitation; and Dr. Kenneth Murkowski on insurance. After each seminar, Foot Levelers invites DCs to stay for birthday events.
Each seminar costs a minimum of $75 for DCs, and $25 for CAs and chiropractic students. Foot Levelers will donate half of all fees collected after expenses to the chiropractic colleges (the registration form allows the DC to choose which college the percentage will go to). The other half will be used to fund the work of the Chiropractic Centennial Foundation (CCF) in preparation for chiropractic's 100th anniversary.
Dr. William F. Holmberg, chairman of the board of trustees for the Centennial Foundation, expressed the board's thanks to Monte H. Greenawalt, D.C., DABCO, founder of Foot Levelers, and Kent S. Greenawalt, president of Foot Levelers for the "generous donation they are making to ensure a successful profession-wide centennial celebration in 1995."
Dr. Donald P. Kern, president of Palmer College of Chiropractic (PCC) added his thanks: "Palmer College wishes to commend Foot Levelers for its support of chiropractic colleges and its generous donation to the Centennial Foundation. With half of the proceeds from its birthday seminars given to colleges, and half given to the Centennial Foundation, Foot Levelers has truly shown its dedication to the chiropractic profession."

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?
