In the April 9, 2005 issue, we reported that the Palmer Chiropractic University System's Board of Trustees, at its annual meeting in February 2005, had officially named Drs. Donald Kern and Peter Martin as president of Palmer College of Chiropractic and Palmer College of Chiropractic West, respectively. The presidential appointments were made during the board's Feb. 4-5 meeting in San Diego, Calif.
The article, "Palmer, Palmer West Presidents: Interim No More," featured a profile of each new president. However, we erroneously reversed the photo included with each gentleman's profile - the photo of Dr. Kern accompanied Dr. Martin's biography, and vice-versa.
The staff of Dynamic Chiropractic apologizes for this error and any confusion/inconvenience it may have caused our readership or Drs. Kern and Martin.
When I graduated from chiropractic college in 1981 and started practice, I heard it all, and very little was positive. “You are a quack; you do not know what a subluxation is; you couldn’t get into a real health care program, so you chose the one that is slightly above a mail-order degree; you have no proof that chiropractic works; Are you really licensed?”, and so much more.

A central challenge in creating our identity is that chiropractic is a method of care, not a technique or procedure. This is an important concept for us to promote. Our patients are treated with lifestyle modification, exercise, nutritional supplements, diet and a whole-body approach to accelerate the natural healing process. We are not simply CMT providers.
