In a recent survey of the profession, individual doctors indicated that a national public relations campaign is a top priority. The Foundation for Chiropractic Progress is conducting such a campaign to promote the benefits of chiropractic care to the public. Full-page ads have been placed in national publications such as Newsweek, U.S. News & World Report, New York Times Magazine and Health. And a 30-second television commercial featuring campaign spokesperson Sarah Harding Traverso, Ms. Fitness USA 2006, ran on the Fox Network during multiple airings of the Ms. Fitness USA 2007 contest in January, reaching an estimated 150 million households.
With all that in mind, we salute the following doctors of chiropractic, vendors, state associations and colleges, who are making the foundation's national PR campaign happen through their contributions. Note: This is a partial list of contributors that covers the period from January 2006 to June 2007. For a complete listing of contributors, visit www.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. 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?
