Join chiropractic colleges, offices and other advocacy groups in the 2011 "Have-A-Heart" Campaign, to be held during Valentine's Week, Feb. 12-19, 2011. Register online now at www.chiropractic4kids.com to bring to your community the awareness of the power of chiropractic for children and to support "Oklahaven" Children's Chiropractic Center, an internationally recognized nonprofit organization.
"We feel it is vital that we continue to educate the public on the chiropractic way of life," said Dr. Bobby Doscher, president of Oklahaven Children's Chiropractic Center. "We hope you will join us. I only wish you could see what I see--you would know how important you are to our mission of bringing health and hope to the children. If you could see how the light returns to their eyes, you would understand how much your generosity really means."
Oklahaven has been specializing in the treatment of neurologically disorganized children since 1962 due to the generosity of people who believe in a natural, drug-free lifestyle for our children. The center has never received state, federal or United Way funds. Your continued support enables us to spread the message of health for our children.
Each year, whoever raises the most funds by selling hearts is presented the prestigious "Golden Heart Award"--the giver of life. Dr. Howard Berg and his staff or St. Simon's Island, Ga., earned the "Golden Heart Award" for five consecutive years. The 2010 "Golden Heart Award" winners were Dr. Steven Loehr of the Meek Chiropractic in Springfield, Mo., and Life University in Atlanta.
"When we show Oklahaven's video, we've had tears. We've had people who say, 'I didn't know that was what chiropractic could do,' said Dr. Berg. "The video shows what chiropractic really can do for the severely hurt child. That's powerful in itself. It's just a great awareness; a common consciousness across the globe during Valentine's Week. 'Have-A-Heart' allows the community to see that you do contribute to something greater and that chiropractic makes a difference in children's lives. That's huge. Conducting a 'Have-A-Heart' campaign is easy and creates 'contagious excitement' among patients, office staff and your community."
The 2008 and 2009 College "Golden Heart Awards" were presented to Dr. Carl Cleveland and the student body of the Cleveland Chiropractic College in Kansas City. Encouraged by the students, Dr. Cleveland approved the first Special Needs Children's Clinic at the college. After the award presentation, Dr. Doscher held a workshop on the campus both years with the upper class students and clinic directors. Students watched in amazement as two miracles happened. The life force returned to the face of a 1-year-old with Down syndrome and he began to crawl. Another child who walked unevenly and on his tiptoes began to walk uninhibited and even skipped. This experience was so incredibly powerful that it moved the students to tears. Dr. Doscher said these changes happened so quickly because the children were under chiropractic care and just needed a little more specific adjustment.
This was an opportunity for students to see the power of chiropractic and how it can bring healing to children with a range of symptoms. In closing the workshop, Dr. Doscher stated, "I look forward to helping the students increase their knowledge and prepare for the challenging cases they will encounter in their future practices. The staggering statistics of 1 in 100 children by age 8 are autistic in the U.S. shows the growing need. Helping the severely neurologically compromised children reclaim their health and encouraging their parents to commit to a natural drug-free lifestyle is nothing short of miraculous. Thank you for caring enough to make our work possible. Always remember, together we make it happen."

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?
