Chiropractic (General)

An Appeal to the Profession

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

Stephen Johnson attends chiropractic college at The National College of Chiropractic. He has begun to suffer the physical changes of chronic diabetes, i.e., visual impairment, unhealed peripheral ulcers, and end-stage kidney degeneration.

He has finally been accepted into a program which has made him eligible to receive a pancreas transplant. This procedure is not covered by insurance or Medicare. His cost for the operation is $60,000. He has turned to the profession in a desperate attempt to raise the funds, since the help he is able to get from the National College family is not going to be enough. Your generosity will be met with Steve's immeasurable gratitude.

To help meet his goal, forward your contribution to:

Confronting the Threat to Chiropractic Education
Confronting the Threat to Chiropractic Education

The chiropractic profession is confronting one of the most significant federal regulatory threats it has faced in decades. A new U.S. Department of Education (ED) accountability framework – commonly referred to as the “Do No Harm” (DNH) regulation – could place many chiropractic programs at risk of losing access to federal financial aid (student loans), potentially reshaping the future of chiropractic education and workforce development across the United States.

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics
From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success. But while pain reduction is meaningful, it is an incomplete and often misleading representation of recovery. This has real consequences for patient adherence, long-term outcomes, and how conservative care is perceived within the broader healthcare system.
