A Chiropractic License Plate in Kentucky
The Kentucky Chiropractic Association (KCA) recently launched a "Go Green Go Chiropractic" marketing initiative that features a specialty license plate. The plate design contains the above slogan accompanied by a spine and a growing plant on a green and white background.
"The 'Go Green Go Chiropractic' marketing initiative helps Kentucky chiropractors and patients unite in their efforts to spread awareness of the unique benefits of chiropractic," commented the KCA. "The license plate makes a statement that we're proud of Kentucky's chiropractors and the people who are treated by and support them. It also will encourage people who see it to find out what Go Green Go Chiropractic is all about."
Sales of the license plate benefit the Kentuckiana Children's Center, the nonprofit organization that provides integrative chiropractic care to children suffering from serious illnesses. According to KCA Legal Counsel Jonathan Boggs, association members "specifically chose not to have any identifying marks on the plate, or to have the donations go to the KCA because the plate isn't just for our members, it is for all chiropractors and chiropractic patients in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and we hope to spread the 'Go Green Go Chiropractic' initiative worldwide."

When I graduated from chiropractic college in 1981 and started practice, I heard it all, and very little was positive. “You are a quack; you do not know what a subluxation is; you couldn’t get into a real health care program, so you chose the one that is slightly above a mail-order degree; you have no proof that chiropractic works; Are you really licensed?”, and so much more.

A central challenge in creating our identity is that chiropractic is a method of care, not a technique or procedure. This is an important concept for us to promote. Our patients are treated with lifestyle modification, exercise, nutritional supplements, diet and a whole-body approach to accelerate the natural healing process. We are not simply CMT providers.
