Because they have yet to pass national legislation protecting the chiropractic profession, Japanese DCs are in a similar situation that U.S. DCs faced.

And in spite of their efforts, Japanese DCs are currently faced with two chiropractic professions.
Sports Illustrated Update
On the front cover of our December 19, 1990 issue, we alerted our readers to be watching the December issues of Sports Illustrated for a feature article on Dr. Nick Athens and chiropractic. We have been informed that the special feature has been postponed and will not appear in Sports Illustrated until next football season. "DC" will print a reminder update when further information becomes available to us.
