Congratulations go to Herbert R. "Chap" Reaver, D.C. who recently won the prestigious Edgar Allan Poe Award for his mystery novel Mote. The "Edgar Awards" -- the crime writing genre's equivalent of an Oscar -- are voted on by members of the Mystery Writers of America. Winners are given a statuette of Edgar Allan Poe.
"I'm still kind of spinning," Dr. Reaver told a local newspaper in his hometown of Marietta, Georgia, "I didn't realize what a big deal it was. The nicest part is that you are honored by your peers and your fellow writers."
Mote is Dr. Reaver's first novel, and won in the Best Young Adult Mystery category. See the February 15, 1991 issue of "DC."
Mote, 1991 Edgar Allan Poe Winner
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?
