The Congress of Chiropractic State Associations (COCSA) recently signed an endorsement agreement with Eclipse International and its chiropractic division, ChiroMatic Inc., to promote the spinal health benefits of mattresses with Eclipse's "Spinal Zone" sleep technology to chiropractors and consumers.
"The additional support provided by Spinal Zone has been clinically proven to offer valuable spinal health benefits, particularly those that are important to chiropractors," commented Dr. Stephen Simonetti, president of COCSA. "After thorough review, we have determined that Eclipse's Spinal Zone meets those qualifications, and we are proud to lend our credentials to that effect."
Collaborative mattress designs, special point-of-purchase materials, consumer and health care professional education programs, and mass media outreach promotions will be included as part of the endorsement. In addition, special chiropractic promotions will be featured in retail stores that carry Eclipse mattresses.
"We carefully looked at a number of chiropractic groups who were interested in Eclipse, but with the largest membership base and international acclaim, the COCSA made the best fit," said Stuart Carlitz, CEO of Eclipse International. "This will be a great win-win partnership."
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?
