Our Apologies to Connecticut Chiropractic Council Members

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

In our last issue (July 16, 2005), we reported that a number of Connecticut Chiropractic Association members had mobilized in order to contact NextMedia, owner of a billboard in New Haven, Conn., that attacked chiropractic. The billboard, which referred passers-by to a Web site called Neck911USA.com, offered the chilling words, "Warning: Chiropractic Adjustments Can Kill or Permanently Disable You."

After that article went to press, we became aware that members of the Connecticut Chiropractic Council and others had also been involved in the effort to remove the offensive billboard. Our hats go off to all chiropractors, Connecticut Chiropractic Council and Connecticut Chiropractic Association members, and others who took the time to place the reported 247 phone calls that sent a clear message to NextMedia about the inappropriateness of the billboard.

The original article, "Chiropractic Comes Under Attack in Connecticut," is available online at www.chiroweb.com/archives/23/15/05.html.

Chiropractic Colleges in Crisis

Financial pressure, enrollment declines and institutional challenges are emerging at several U.S. chiropractic colleges. Life Chiropractic College West's and Life University's struggles may be the most talked about but appear to be part of a larger story. And with recent USDE requirements threatening to hamstring federal student financing for DC degree programs, chiropractic education is facing questions for which it has no immediate answers.

The Missing Link in Midlife Female Musculoskeletal Pain
The Missing Link in Midlife Female Musculoskeletal Pain

Musculoskeletal pain in perimenopause and menopause reflects a broader physiologic shift rather than an isolated structural problem. Declining estrogen, increased inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and nervous system dysregulation collectively alter tissue quality, pain perception, and recovery capacity. Recognizing this interconnected model enables clinicians to move beyond symptom management and toward more effective, systems-based care that improves long-term outcomes for midlife women.

Dolly Parton's Connection to Chiropractic

As the world remembers Dolly Parton following her death Aug. 25 at age 80, there is a little-known connection to the chiropractic profession worth revisiting: Dolly publicly acknowledged using chiropractic care and another famous entertainer even recalled meeting her at a chiropractor's office.
