At its recent meeting held in Davenport, Iowa, the Chiropractic Centennial Foundation announced that the Centennial Celebration scheduled for September 1995 will be held at two locations. The first half of the celebration will take place in Davenport, Iowa; the second half, immediately following, in Washington, D.C.
William Holmberg, D.C., president of the Chiropractic Centennial Foundation (CCF), announced this decision by saying: "The foundation unanimously approved these sites in order to ensure more chiropractors are able to attend. We also felt that the ability to reach and communicate with the decision-makers in Washington, D.C. during our 100th anniversary was an opportunity we couldn't pass up."
Dr. Holmberg specified the Centennial Celebration in Davenport will run September 15-18 (Friday-Monday), with September 19th (Tuesday) set aside as a travel day. The celebration will continue in Washington D.C., September 20-23 (Wednesday-Saturday).
Each location will have a full schedule of continuing education, trade shows, and association meetings. Special events unique to each location will be planned.
"This is going to be a grand celebration of chiropractic," said Dr. Holmberg. "All chiropractors who are proud of their profession and looking to the future will want to be involved."
There will be ONE registration fee which will entitle the registrant to attend either location or both.

When I graduated from chiropractic college in 1981 and started practice, I heard it all, and very little was positive. “You are a quack; you do not know what a subluxation is; you couldn’t get into a real health care program, so you chose the one that is slightly above a mail-order degree; you have no proof that chiropractic works; Are you really licensed?”, and so much more.

A central challenge in creating our identity is that chiropractic is a method of care, not a technique or procedure. This is an important concept for us to promote. Our patients are treated with lifestyle modification, exercise, nutritional supplements, diet and a whole-body approach to accelerate the natural healing process. We are not simply CMT providers.
