The Urban League Visits New York Chiropractic College
Dr. Kenneth W. Padgett, president of New York Chiropractic College, welcomed Ms. Rosemary Durant Giles and a group of young adults from the Urban League of Long Island's Adolescent Vocational Exploration (AVE) Program. The purpose of AVE is to encourage early academic preparation for long-term professional goals. Following a tour of the Old Brookville Campus, the AVE participants were given an opportunity to learn about the chiropractic profession.
The tour concluded with a round-table discussion led by Dr. Mark Feldman, associate director for Institutional Advancement. As both an instructor and field practitioner, Dr. Feldman was able to offer the young people a realistic view of chiropractic education and the chiropractic profession.
Mr. Giles remarked, "The visit to NYCC was a very impressive experience for the young adults who visited the college. It's programs like this that act as a bootstrap in keeping our young students honing in on their professional goal. I was very impressed with the manner in which the professional staff at NYCC undertook to impress upon the young adults why they should consider chiropractic as a possible career goal."
Continuing to impress the advertising and marketing world, The Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (F4CP) has again been recognized by industry organizations for its excellence in educating consumers on the benefits of chiropractic, this time through social media, newsletters, and demonstrating thought leadership by promoting holistic well-being.
Dr. Louis Sportelli received the Lee-Homewood Chiropractic Heritage Award during the annual conference of the Association for the History of Chiropractic (AHC). During his nearly 60-year career, Dr. Sportelli has embodied the spirit of the award, given to “living individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the chiropractic profession.”
Presently there is no consensus on the best treatment for Achilles tendon rupture; and its management is still controversial. The treatment options are conservative treatment and surgical repair. With either treatment, be it conservative or surgical, Achilles tendon tears necessitate prolonged recovery and rehabilitative management.
