Bernard A. Coyle, Ph.D., chairman of the International Chiropractors' Association's (ICA) research committee, announced that ICA is currently accepting abstracts to be considered for the 1991 Scientific Symposium on Spinal Biomechanics.
One-page abstracts are invited for papers on theory, research or application covering biomechanics, biophysics, biochemistry, neurophysiology, and clinical procedures. Papers addressing child care, geriatric care, pregnancy, and sports injuries, including adjustive procedures, are also encouraged.
Abstracts should be 250 words in length and include the title, name(s) and affiliations of the author(s), addresses, and telephone numbers. In addition, current interest in the work, summary of background literature, methods used, results, conclusions, and implications for the chiropractic profession should be included. All abstracts should be submitted to the Program Committee at ICA by October 15, 1990.
Once the abstracts are selected for presentation, the authors will be notified and complete papers will be due by March 1 for inclusion in the proceedings.
The symposium will be held in conjunction with ICA's 65th Annual Convention, March 15-17, 1991, at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.
A major segment of the convention will focus on a series of adjustic workshops. These specialized workshops will highlight the theory, analysis, as well as demonstrations of different techniques for variety of conditions such as geriatric and pediatric care, sports injuries, and pregnancy.
In addition, a series of "Philosophy of a Successful Practice" seminars will be held by leading practitioners specializing in practice management.
"Program topics and speakers will be announced this fall," said ICA Convention Chairman Dr. Darrell Atchley from Lovington, New Mexico.

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?
