The Commission on Accreditation (COA) of the Council on Chiropractic Education of Canada (CCEC) recently announced that the probationary sanction against the Université du Québec à Trois Rivières (UQTR) doctor of chiropractic program has been lifted.
In reaching its decision to remove the sanction, the COA followed the procedures outlined in the CCEC Standards for Doctor of Chiropractic Programmes - the same standards used to place the program on probation in January 2002, at which time the commission deferred a decision to reaffirm UQTR's accreditation, citing "failure to comply with established accreditation criteria."
According to the Standards, the COA could have revoked accreditation status entirely if UQTR failed to correct deficiencies or otherwise failed to comply with the requirement standards.
The UQTR chiropractic program will be reviewed again in the fall of 2005, as regularly scheduled. Between accreditation reviews, all accredited programs are required to submit status reports and meet with the COA annually.

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?
