Dr. William M. Harris, founder and president of the Foundation for the Advancement of Chiropractic Education in Alpharetta, Georgia, recently donated $100,000 to the National Institute of Chiropractic Research (NICR). The money is earmarked for continued research currently under way at Arizona State University.
Dr. Harris also announced that if the NICR can raise $100,000 for chiropractic research from its members and potential members within the profession by January 15, 1993, that he will make a matching contribution.
Clearly, Dr. Harris feels very strongly that many in chiropractic need to return something to the profession, and he hopes that his gift will challenge and stimulate many DCs to give to benefit chiropractic's future.
Dr. Arlan W. Fuhr, president of the NICR, announced this generous gift from Dr. Harris along with a plea to the chiropractic profession to help with this project by giving $100,000 by January 15, 1993. Dr. Fuhr said, "It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to be able to give a dollar and have another one automatically added to it."
Dr. Fuhr stated he was confident of support from the present NICR membership, but added: "We are small in numbers and will need everyone's help to be able to take advantage of Dr. Harris' generosity."

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?
