New York Chiropractic College has received the "green light" from the New York State Education Department to deliver its Master of Science in Applied Clinical Nutrition (MSACN) program completely online. NYCC plans to convert the nutrition curriculum to an online, distance-learning, Web-based format via Desire2Learn (D2L) by September 2010.
NYCC's MSACN program is uniquely structured to provide a comprehensive professional education that will prepare graduates for employment in a variety of settings including private practice, integrative practice with other professionals, research, and industry consulting.
NYCC Executive Vice President of Academic Affairs, Michael Mestan, DC, describes the new online initiative as "a successful team effort that significantly enhances practitioners' skills and benefits patients."
Designed for practicing chiropractors, current chiropractic students and all other qualified health care professionals (e.g., nurses, medical physicians, dentists), matriculants can complete this master's-level program entirely online in the comfort of their homes.
The online program, emphasizing an integrative and natural health care approach, distinguishes itself through an outstanding faculty, innovative and diverse curricula, and an emphasis on the applied use of clinical nutrition in disease prevention and management. This sort of advanced training enables practitioners to expand existing practices, offer more comprehensive treatment, and augment their professional success through interventions that incorporate diet, exercise, nutritional supplementation, and lifestyle modifications.
"We're looking to teach healthcare practitioners who want to enhance their credentials and expand their practices by incorporating nutrition to address a myriad of health conditions," explained Anna Kelles, PhD, director of the School of Applied Clinical Nutrition at NYCC, noting that nutrition is a fundamental building block in the success of all health care treatments.

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?
