The Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (FCP) is launching a new national campaign to continue its goal of generating positive press about our profession. The FCP is asking all chiropractic state associations to join this State-by-State Across America campaign. Here's how it will work: The FCP will coordinate with state associations to push for state-by-state support of the foundation. The purpose of this new initiative is to generate positive press across the country and encourage state associations to work with the foundation to achieve this goal. At a local level, chiropractors, patients and the state as a whole will "feel" the effects of pro-chiropractic public relations.
By itself, a single state association can accomplish good things for chiropractic, but imagine how much more we could accomplish if all the state associations worked together toward a common goal: bringing positive attention to our profession. We can make it happen with the generosity of chiropractors like you, the combined strength of state associations and the media campaign strategy of the FCP.
State associations (and chiropractic colleges as well) will have the opportunity to buy into an ad campaign that will generate positive press for chiropractic. The campaign will be extremely cost-effective because the FCP has access to deeply discounted advertising rates - oftentimes as much as 80 percent to 90 percent off normal selling rates! This is an exciting opportunity to bring chiropractic awareness literally to the home front of every state in the nation.

How You Can Help
First, contact your local state association and urge them to join this important campaign. Your state association will listen to its members, so take a moment to realize how powerful your voice is.
Next, remember that it all starts with one person. You can make a difference simply by joining the FCP. To grow the profession, we must change the negative perception of chiropractic. The FCP is working hard to show the public the positive benefits of chiropractic care. It's up to you to help that positive effort continue.
To make the most impact on the public's perception of chiropractic, you should consider becoming a monthly contributor. While any contribution is helpful, those who become monthly contributors help the foundation to show vendors the profession supports this effort.
With your support and the support of all chiropractic state associations, think how much more we can do to spread the good news to the general public. Join the cause and help more people see the benefits of 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?
