State Representatives Attend San Diego County Chiropractic Society's Annual Chiropractic Friendship Party

On August 4, the San Diego County Chiropractic Society held its annual Chiropractic Friendship Party at Lawrence's Restaurant in La Jolla, California. The event was a tremendous success, drawing over 300 DCs, staff, friends, medical practitioners, and legislators from all over San Diego County.

Perhaps the most significant aspect of this year's party was the attendance of our state representatives. Three members of the Assembly, Carol Bentley (77th), Tricia Hunter (76th), and Robert Frazee (75th) were there, along with Senators Wadie Deddeh (40th) and Bill Craven (38th). Other representatives phoned their regrets prior to the event.

The grand showing of legislators speaks very highly of San Diego's political grass roots efforts to know and interact with their elected official as well as for the fine job that the California Chiropractic Association (CCA) is doing in Sacramento and throughout the state to further educate legislators about chiropractic.

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.

Dolly Parton's Connection to Chiropractic

As the world remembers Dolly Parton following her death Aug. 25 at age 80, there is a little-known connection to the chiropractic profession worth revisiting: Dolly publicly acknowledged using chiropractic care and another famous entertainer even recalled meeting her at a chiropractor's office.
