Before the first advertisement reached the chiropractic profession, the 68 spaces available had been taken. Those chiropractors (and their guests) who will be attending, will make up a delegation that will be touring Chinese medical facilities and sharing techniques with Chinese physicians.
This is only the fourth time Dr. John Amaro has accepted an invitation from the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This program is co-sponsored by the Motion Palpation Institute (MPI), the International Academy of Clinical Acupuncture (IACA), Texas Chiropractic College and New York Chiropractic College. It has been approved for 35 authorized license renewal credit hours.
The incredible response came from advanced notice given to previous attendees of MPI and IACA seminars. Most respondants could not believe the exclusive price that is being offered for this event.
In order to keep from disappointing any of the DCs who are currently on the waiting list, Dr. Amaro has agreed to schedule another trip in August of 1991. This delegation will be limited to 66 spaces.
Those chiropractors who would like to join Dr. Amaro in August are encouraged to contact his office immediately at (602) 488-9787.
As you may expect, the August 1991 delegation to China will most likely sell out as well.
When I graduated from chiropractic college in 1981 and started practice, I heard it all, and very little was positive. “You are a quack; you do not know what a subluxation is; you couldn’t get into a real health care program, so you chose the one that is slightly above a mail-order degree; you have no proof that chiropractic works; Are you really licensed?”, and so much more.

A central challenge in creating our identity is that chiropractic is a method of care, not a technique or procedure. This is an important concept for us to promote. Our patients are treated with lifestyle modification, exercise, nutritional supplements, diet and a whole-body approach to accelerate the natural healing process. We are not simply CMT providers.
