Michael J. Kudlas, D.C. of Brooklyn, Michigan, has been appointed to the International Advisory Committee of the International Holistic Health Association by Dr. Issac Matthai of Bangalore, India, one of the association's founders. Dr. Kudlas will serve as the chiropractic liason to this international organizaton, whose headquarters are in London, England.
Dr. Kudlas was asked to serve after his chiropractic presentation at the First International Conference on Holistic Health and Medicine held in Bangalore last November. This conference was the first of its kind and brought together over 600 delegates from 30 countries to review the various types of healing arts throughout the world.
Dr. Kudlas was one of only three chiropractors in the world to speak at the conference and the only one to present a paper on chiropractic and its role in healing and health. He was also instrumental in helping to draft the conference's Declaration of Health which was unanimously adopted by the delegates. Dr. Kudlas will be assisting in the presentation of the second conference to be held in England sometime in 1992.
At an annual meeting at Parker College of Chiropractic in Dallas, Texas on June 1, 1990, Dr. Herbert J. Vear of Pickering, Ontario, president of the Council on Chiropractic Education (Canada) and former president of Western States College of Chiropractic, has been elected as the sixth president of the Association for the History of Chiropractic (AHC).
Other new officers elected are: Dr. Mildred Lee (Georgia), vice president; Ms. Glenda Wiese (Iowa), secretary; and Dr. Arnold Goldschmidt (New York), treasurer.
New directors elected are: Drs. Robert Hurley and Joseph Keating (California) to three-year terms; Dr. Walt Wardell (Connecticut) for two years; and Dr. Don Sutherland (Ontario) for one year.
For the first time in seven years, Dr. Len Fay, founder of the AHC in 1980, will be absent from the board of directors, a victim of the AHC bylaws which limit the terms of officers and directors.
The AHC honored Dr. Leonard K. Griffin of Auburn, California as the 1990 recipient of the Lee-Homewood Chiropractic Heritage Award. A pioneer in Texas in helping to secure legislation, Dr. Griffin had also campaigned vigorously to obtain a "chiropractic science" definition by the profession in the 1960s.
"This investigation focuses on the effects of spinal adjustments on cervical range of motion asymmetries," said Dr. Nansel. "Up to this point, the only category of asymmetry we've examined has been in cervical lateral flexion. This grant allows us to conduct a more thorough investigation of asymmetries and/or patterns of asymmetries about other planes, or axes, of cervical motion."
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?
