Dear Sir,
We inform you that for the first time in France, all chiropractors of Tours, the biggest town in Loire Valley, will be taken to court for "illegal practice of medicine."
As you know, DCs in France are denied the right to practice chiropractic while medical doctors, with little or no training in neuro articular biomechanics, are recognized.
Any international helping hands will be readily accepted for the five chiropractor of Tours.
Chiropractically yours,
R. Arme, D.C; S. Colin, D.C.; M. Douilliez-Rougebec, D.C; C. Lucon, D.C.; C. Portal, D.C.
Dr. Serge Colin is a 1975 graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic and has been practicing in Tours since 1976.
(Drs. Arme and Colin are in practice together)
Dr. Micheline Douilliez-Rougebec is a 1984 graduate of National College of Chiropractic and has been practicing in Tours since 1985.
Dr. Claude Lucon is a 1976 graduate of Anglo European Chiropractic College and has been practicing in Tours since 1976.
Dr. Claude Portal is a 1974 graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic and has been practicing in Tours since 1974
Editor's Note: "DC" is extremely concerned about the plight of these chiropractors. We have been in contact with them and are expecting to hear more from them soon. We will be keeping you informed of any new developments.
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?
