Chiropractic Goes to Morocco

Editorial Staff

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.

Recent studies also have unveiled a game-changing adjunct to chiropractic treatments for CTS: nerve flossing.

Dynamic Diagnosis: A Look at Romberg’s Test and Patient Safety

The Romberg test is a neurological procedure used to assess balance and can be used to gauge a patient’s risk of falling. Unfortunately, the test itself is a fall risk. The fall risk is not huge, and falls are not frequent. However, I have encountered a few situations that have influenced how I use and teach the test.

A Chiropractic Therapist Profession in the United States?
A Chiropractic Therapist Profession in the United States?

Sadly, Japan now has over 12,000 chiropractic therapists (Zenkenkai/JCA chiropractors), dramatically outnumbering the fewer than 700 DCs who have graduated from accredited chiropractic educational programs. These chiropractic therapists have a clear economic and political advantage that makes appropriate chiropractic legislation nearly impossible. What if this same thing happenened in the U.S.?
