Date Change for NCLC 2006
The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) has rescheduled its 2006 National Chiropractic Legislative Conference at the L'Enfant Plaza Hotel in Washington, D.C. The event is now scheduled for March 25-28, 2006. The change was made after the ACA learned the Senate's 2006 calendar included an unexpected break from March 20-24, 2006.
"For four days, in the spotlight of the nation's capital, NCLC will focus on the state and federal legislative and regulatory issues that impact doctors of chiropractic and their patients," said ACA President Richard G. Brassard, DC. "By holding the conference at a different time during the week - from Saturday to Tuesday - we'll be able to reach a larger congressional audience and educate them about the important role chiropractic plays in our nation's health care system."

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?
