The suspension of Southern California College of Chiropractic (SCCC) by the California Board of Chiropractic Examiners (CBCE) has been lifted. SCCC's suspension was effective December 16, 1989. The reason for the suspension was that SCCC "failed to present evidence of the college's financial ability to operate a chiropractic college in California."
The suspension was lifted effective March 30, 1990, after SCCC had met the requirements of the State Board. These requirements included written information as well as a site inspection, whereby representatives from the board visited SCCC on March 29, 1990.
When asked if the board was satisfied with the efforts of SCCC to address the bankruptcy liability of reportedly over $600,000, the state board responded by saying that SCCC had demonstrated that they were working with the IRS and the bankruptcy court.
The odds were certainly against SCCC satisfying CBCE's requirements for the release of suspension. To continue to thwart any remaining threat to the future well-being of the school, SCCC's administrators will have to rise against some very rigorous challenges. The eyes of the chiropractic's community will be turned to the West Coast in anticipation of what the future holds for this school with such a troubled history and its students.
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?
