What Can YOU Do?

James W. Parker,D.C., a Member of The ICA for 46 Years and a Member of The ACA Since Its Inception, Makes a Request
Editorial Staff

There is one point that I would like to make to every chiropractor in the world. Being a member of a recent strategic planning meeting of the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) has made me more aware than ever of the necessity of all DCs to have a national voice. I'd like to urge all DCs in the world to belong to some national organization!

Of course, neither the ACA nor the International Chiropractors Association (ICA) do everything we like. But those of you who are not ICA or ACA members had better wake up and begin to realize all the benefits we've achieved are the result of national representation through the years.

This decade is going to be the most crucial in our history. Don't ask, "What can the ACA/ICA do for me?" Ask, "What can I do for the ICA/ACA?" For, having that national voice is indispensable to our very professional life! And this is true in every country.

A supplement that can address inflammation, while also preventing certain types of cancer.

While canes, braces and posts represent extrinsic methods for lessening adductor moment arms, an intrinsic method for lessening the development of medial knee osteoarthritis occurs when the hip abductor musculature and the iliotibial band are strong enough to create a compressive force capable of stabilizing the lateral knee.
