In the November 6, 1992 issue of "DC," we reported that Dr. William Harris, president and founder of the Foundation for the Advancement of Chiropractic Education (FACE), had donated $100,000 to the National Institute of Chiropractic Research (NICR) for research under way at Arizona State University.
Dr. Harris pledged that if the NICR could raise $100,000 by January
15, 1993, that FACE would give an additional $100,000 to the NICR.
As of November 11, 1992, the NICR has collected $11,000, as
depicted on the barometer graph below.
Contributions may be sent to:

"We still have a long way to go to achieve our goal by the 15th of January. With your help, I know we can do it.

President, NICR
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?
