The Belgian Chiropractic Association, a member of the European Chiropractors' Union, once again participated in the European Student Fair held in Brussels March 19-23.
The student fair attracted 116,952 visitors, mainly high school students, who viewed exhibits from 656 institutions of higher education, 210 Belgian and 446 from the European community.
The goal of the Belgian Chiropractic Association was to attract prospective chiropractic students, and to promote awareness and acceptance of chiropractic education among the other institutions represented.
The quality and homogeneity of chiropractic colleges throughout the world has played and is still playing an important role in our daily battle to maintain and improve acceptance and recognition of chiropractic. People need to hear, especially in Europe, that the roots of chiropractic, the chiropractic colleges, are alive and well.
The Brussels Student Fair was an excellent opportunity to develop university contacts and relations and to keep current on changes in higher education.
We hope our time and effort spent at the annual fair to promote chiropractic will reap benefits for the profession in the the years to come. We must be persistent.

Back pain? Blame the psoas. Seems as if everybody wants to dive headfirst into their psoas at the first sign of trouble with the lumbopelvic-hip region. Perhaps no other muscle is blamed more for causing problems than the psoas. Yes, it is an important stabilizer of the lumbar spine, but it shouldn't be the only one on which you focus. There is another big player on the scene: the iliacus.
Two closely related viruses of herpes simplex, HSV-1 and HSV-2, can infect the human body. HSV-1 mostly infects the gums and skin, although it can cause more serious infection in the brain. HSV-2 mostly infects around the genital area. Infection with the virus can be unsightly and painful, especially for HSV-2.
What’s the simplest way to ensure prompt payment for your claims? Ensure that the insurance payer has no reason to deny them. Submitting a “clean claim” from the start can have a more significant impact on your net collections than any other step in your billing workflow. Net collections and accounts receivable (AR) can improve significantly when claims are clean from the start.
