As a practitioner, you know foot pain should be addressed as soon as possible, as pain in one or both feet can potentially lead to impairment of foot function. But rather than treating foot pain with over-the-counter pain and anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen, or prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or even corticosteroid injections for chronic foot pain, why not try red light / infrared therapy?
In Remembrance: Dr. Karl W. Parker
Dr. W. Karl Parker passed away on Christmas night at the age of 68 following an 18-month battle with cancer. He died peacefully, surrounded by family.
A 1969 graduate of Texas Chiropractic College, Parker served as executive vice president of the Parker Chiropractic Resource Foundation, conducting seminars with his father Dr. Jim Parker, including the 300th Parker Seminar (1989), which boasted a record 8,300 attendees. After his father's death, Karl began Karl Parker Seminars, continuing his father's legacy of teaching DCs how to more effectively run their practices.
He is survived by a wife, four children and six grandchildren, among others.
