Chiropractic Goes to Morocco

After examination and x-rays of the Royal Family of Morocco, the first chiropractic adjustment was delivered in that kingdom. Morocco, which is located on the northwestern border of North Africa (and was also the home of Casablanca) had formerly been void of the chiropractic profession. Sidi M. Lemnouni, B.S.; D.C., of Atlanta, Georgia, was called upon by the Royal Family to make the examination.

"It was a privilege to deliver this first chiropractic adjustment to the royal family. This is the first step to the opening of Morocco to chiropractic," said Dr. Lemnouni.

Dr. Lemnouni added that he hopes to seek audiences with the governor in order to create a mutual cooperation and understanding of the profession in that country. It is anticipated that neighboring kingdoms will follow Morocco's lead and invite more chiropractors to introduce their field to the people of North Africa.

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.
