On the heels of the American Public Health Association's 132nd Annual Meeting and Exposition in Washington, D.C., the APHA Chiropractic Health Care Section (APHA-CHC) is now accepting abstracts for the association's 2005 meeting.
The theme for next year's meeting, to be held Nov. 5-9, 2005, in New Orleans, is "Evidence Based Policy and Practice." All abstracts must be submitted online through the APHA Web site: www.apha.org. The deadline for abstract submission is Feb. 7, 2005.
Active participation in the APHA-CHC allows doctors of chiropractic to interact with colleagues from various health professions and disciplines; raise the positive profile of the chiropractic profession in the public health and health care communities; contribute to sound policy decision-making; and make a difference in shaping the future of the health care delivery system.
Please contact Dr. Maria Hondras, program planner, with questions regarding abstract submission, or for more information on the 2005 APHA meeting. To learn more about the Chiropractic Health Care Section, visit the APHA Web site.

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?
