Texas Dept. of Trans. Approves Interstate Sign for Parker
Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

Parker College of Chiropractic in Dallas, Texas was recently chosen by the Texas Department of Transportation (DOT) to receive roadway signs at the north and south Walnut Hill exit ramps on U.S. Interstate 35.

Considered the nearest important landmark at this major thoroughfare, Parker College met all the specific guidelines for colleges and universities in a major metropolitan area.

The I-35 interstate traverses over 600 miles north and south across Texas, Oklahoma, and most of Kansas linking the state to other major interstate systems as far north as New York. Considered a high traffic area, some 200,000 vehicles pass the six lane Walnut Hill stretch every 24 hours.

Guidelines vs. Care: Bridging the Gap
Guidelines vs. Care: Bridging the Gap

What happens when best practices for patient care fall outside what guidelines endorse or insurance will cover? More importantly, how can clinicians ethically and effectively integrate non-reimbursed services that improve function, reduce disability and support long-term outcomes? These are not just clinical questions; they are economic and policy challenges that directly affect practice viability and patient access.
