Life College held its 29th commencement ceremony at the World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia, conferring degrees upon 157 students. The graduates represented 23 states and eight foreign countries. Life awarded doctor of chiropractic and bachelor of science in nutrition for the chiropractic sciences degrees, as well as chiropractic technician diplomas.
Carol Christensen was recognized as the Spring 1991 valedictorian and Mark Engel was honored as salutatorian. For the Summer 1991 class, which graduated at the same time, Jeffery Bronheim was named valedictorian and Clayton Davis was recognized as salutatorian. Dr. Sid E. Williams, founder and president of Life College, personally conferred the degrees and administered the chiropractic oath to the new DCs.
The commencement speaker was Dr. Robert Hoffman, a long-time supporter of Life and a leader in the International Chiropractors Association (ICA). Dr. Hoffman lives and practices in Oyster Bay, New York. In his commencement address he said, "In the soul of every person is a hunger for purpose. Purpose is innate. We must discover it within ourselves. In the end those who are going to be happy are those who learn how to serve."
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.

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.
