Because they have yet to pass national legislation protecting the chiropractic profession, Japanese DCs are in a similar situation that U.S. DCs faced. We were fortunate enough to be able to pass chiropractic licensure state by state. The DCs in Japan must accomplish this nationally, which has proved to be an extremely difficult task. And in spite of their efforts, Japanese DCs are currently faced with two chiropractic professions.
Growing List of FCP Supporters
Vendor support of the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (FCP) seems to be on a perpetual upswing these days, with Drucker Labs, Future Health Software and ChiroHealthUSA the latest to pledge financial support to the foundation's ongoing positive press campaign. Drucker Labs recently pledged $12,000 to the FCP campaign, Future Health pledged $10,000 and ChiroHealthUSA pledged $6,000.
It was only last month (March 12 issue) that we reported on the financial commitments made by four other vendors: Erchonia Medical, ScripHessco, Chiro One Wellness Centers, and Tempur-Pedic International, who pledged a total of $76,000 to the foundation.
