The members of the Connecticut Chiropractic Association approved a resolution at their Fall Conference and Annual Membership Meeting to support the efforts of the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (F4CP), pledging two years of financial support.
Kent Greenawalt, president/CEO of Foot Levelers, started the foundation in 2003 to address the need for a sustained national advertising and public relations campaign (See "Campaign for Chiropractic Gaining Momentum," Dynamic Chiropractic, June 4, 2005: www.chiroweb.com/archives/23/12/07.html). Since then, the foundation has established a board of directors and is gaining ground as more chiropractors, schools and associations sign on to support the campaign.
"The Foundation for Chiropractic Progress is the only national program that succeeds to promote the profession in a positive public image and is directed towards the potential chiropractic patient," said CCA President, Dr. Matt Pagano. "The Connecticut Chiropractic Association is moving in a direction of consumer driven education and feels that the work of the Foundation compliments the Connecticut Chiropractic Association's efforts to educate the public and unites the goals of chiropractors throughout the country to promote health through chiropractic."
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?
