Santa Monica, Ca -- Installed as executive officers of the Los Angeles County Chiropractic Society for the 1990-91 term are (seated left to right) Robert Hurley, D.C., secretary (Los Angeles); Gene D. Coffman, D.C., past president (Pasadena); (standing left to right) Glenn Fischel, D.C., president (Santa Monica); Alan Jeans, D.C., (San Pedro); Walter Koch, D.C., second vice president (Covina); and Bradley Sullivan, D.C., first vice president (Van Nuys). The Los Angeles County Chiropractic Society (LACCS) is made up of 10 local chiropractic associations. Through its 700 chiropractor members located throughout Los Angeles county, LACCS seeks to increase awareness and understanding of chiropractic. One major LACCS program is HOPE Day (Helping Other People Eat), a countywide food donation effort that in February 1990 collected 60,000 pounds of food for LIFE (Love is Feeding Everyone) -- the largest single contribution ever presented to the organization. HOPE Day 1991 (scheduled for February 14) will again benefit LIFE.

The Missing Link in Midlife Female Musculoskeletal Pain
The Missing Link in Midlife Female Musculoskeletal Pain

Musculoskeletal pain in perimenopause and menopause reflects a broader physiologic shift rather than an isolated structural problem. Declining estrogen, increased inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and nervous system dysregulation collectively alter tissue quality, pain perception, and recovery capacity. Recognizing this interconnected model enables clinicians to move beyond symptom management and toward more effective, systems-based care that improves long-term outcomes for midlife women.
