About the Association for the History of Chiropractic
The AHC is a nonprofit membership society founded at Spears Hospital in Denver in 1980. Its mission is the discovery, dissemination and preservation of the saga of chiropractic. The AHC held the first Conference on Chiropractic History at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. in 1981, and has held similar conferences each year since at various chiropractic colleges or in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Association of Chiropractic Colleges. Details about the upcoming conference can be obtained from Ms. Callender, or by checking the AHC Web site at www.chirohistory.org.
Chiropractic History is a publication in which chiropractors and interested observers contribute their expertise to telling and interpreting the rich lore of the profession. The journal is published twice per year, and is distributed to all members of the AHC as a membership benefit. Membership in the AHC can be obtained by sending your name, address and a check for $75 ($30 per year for students) to Alana Callender. Corporate memberships are also available.

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?
