Dr. Tsugio Muramatsu, president of the Japanese Chiropractic Association (JCA) and Dr. Nobuyoshi Takeyachi of the Pacific-Asia Chiropractic Association (PACC) presented the FCER with a $5,000 contribution to aid in their research and educational efforts. The donation was made during the 20th anniversary convention of the JCA in Inuyama, Japan.
The JCA and PAAC have recently joined to form the Japanese Federation of Chiropractic (JFC) making them the largest chiropractic organization in Japan. The main objective of the JFC is to obtain government licensure of chiropractic in Japan.
The FCER greatly appreciated this generous contribution; JCA and PAAC have indicated their intention to make further donations to FCER in the future.
