The Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (F4CP) has announced a call for stories and anecdotes from chiropractors who provide care to athletes, dancers, artists, performers and other high-profile individuals. As part of its ongoing media campaign for chiropractic, the foundation will be submitting these real-life stories to national newspapers, magazines, television stations, and other media outlets. The F4CP hopes these stories will help build public awareness of and confidence in chiropractic care.

The foundation's national educational campaign continues to expand. Its first television commercial aired Jan. 6 and 7, 2007, during the Fox Network's presentation of the 2007 Ms. Fitness USA contest. The 30-second commercial, featuring Ms. Fitness USA 2006, Sarah Harding, aired again on Jan. 15, when FOX re-ran the contest. The F4CP believes an estimated 150 million households across the nation viewed the commercial.
The foundation officially kicked off its advertising campaign in July 2006 with regional print ads in four major publications. In the past few months, the ad has appeared in national issues of Newsweek, Business Week, U.S. News & World Report and The New York Times Magazine. Most recently, Health magazine ran the ad in its Jan/Feb 2007 issue, and Newsweek ran the ad in its Feb. 12, 2007 issue.
