No, this is not a plug for Ma Bell. It's time to get organized, and I don't just mean getting all the mess on your desk into neat little piles, or your back copies of Dynamic Chiropractic in chronological order. What I'm referring to is making a listing of things that will be helpful to you, and in case you are not able, or around, a list for your family. This list can be as extensive as you want it to be. While you are working on it you might as well do it right. Once you have it, it's easy to keep it up to date, and you need to do just that. An outdated list is almost as bad as no list at all.

Now that you have all this, what do you do with it? You need to create a list that will be handy for your use and accessible to your family. You can put this list on a computer program, if computers are your thing. You can just write it down; not very sexy, but it works. How about putting this on your Rolodex? Now you have it at your fingertips and can keep it updated very easily. Whatever works for you is fine. Just do it, and do it now. By the way, if you come up with a creative way to deal with this list, let me know. I'm always looking for new and creative ideas I can use. I'll even give you credit for it, so drop me a line.
I might not hurt to keep a list of outstanding loans as well. This could also be kept in your Rolodex. Not a bad way to keep track of your loans. List the terms of the loan, interest rate, length of the loan, payments, when due, loan number, lender, and maturity date.
If you use this system and put it all in your Rolodex, you can really "let your fingers do the walking" when you need any information.

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?
