State associations, colleges and chiropractic groups throughout the United States are currently reserving dates to hear a presentation by Gene G. Veno, president of the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress, covering the latest details involving the Campaign for Chiropractic.
With the initial research phase completed, Veno is now in a position to provide a schedule of promotional events and public relations activities planned for the coming months. Now in the final development stage, the multimedia campaign to market chiropractic is scheduled to be unveiled in September 2005, and should be in full-blown operation by the first quarter of 2006.
"The profession has been looking forward to a profession-wide marketing program for years, so it is natural for most chiropractors to be curious as to where this Campaign for Chiropractic stands, and when they can look forward to the hard-edge promotion to begin. I can assure everyone that everything is on schedule, and we will be ready to roll soon," said Veno.
According to Veno, he has been authorized by the foundation's board of directors to meet with chiropractic associations, college groups, and vendors, to bring them up to speed, fully explain the program to them, and show them specifically how they can participate and benefit.
"We want as many members of the profession as possible to know exactly what is going on, and how they can participate," said Veno. "That's why we are 'bringing the mountain to Mohammed,' so to speak. This is the profession's opportunity once and for all to have a marketing vehicle to move the profession forward. We took our time to make sure what we would be doing was right. Now we want everyone to know how they fit in, and what they will get in return."
The Campaign for Chiropractic is being planned as a multimedia, multiyear program that offers both national media exposure and local promotional support. While funding is voluntary, all major chiropractic groups, colleges, vendors and associations, as well as most individual DCs, are expected to underwrite the campaign.
State associations can make arrangements to host a presentation covering the Campaign for Chiropractic by contacting Gene G. Veno at (717) 979-2821 or gveno@foundation4cp.com.
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.

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?
