Chiropractic (General)

Breakthrough Coaching Honors Foundation Spokesperson Rebecca Halstead

Foundation for Chiropractic Progress spokesperson, Ret. General Rebecca (Becky) Halstead, received the Chiropractic Crusader Award on May 14 at a Breakthrough Coaching seminar in Chicago. The award, presented by Dr. Mark Sanna, recognizes outstanding individuals who have made significant contributions to the chiropractic profession.

The general was the first female graduate of West Point and the commander of 25,000 troops in Iraq. After chiropractic care relieved her of debilitating fibromyalgia, she became the spokesperson for the foundation and has contributed greatly to its mission to generate positive press for chiropractic.

Also receiving an award at the event was Dr. Mark Ford of Pampa, Texas. Dr. Ford was awarded the Outstanding Commitment Award recognizing his service to his patients, community and profession. He is celebrating his 29th year of chiropractic practice.

Should You Use Cash, Loan or Lease for Equipment Purchases?
Should You Use Cash, Loan or Lease for Equipment Purchases?

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?

Chiropractic at Risk Globally
Chiropractic at Risk Globally

There has long been an attempt by those who are not legitimate doctors of chiropractic to usurp the title of chiropractor from those who have earned their degree from an accredited chiropractic program. This generally happens in countries where the local doctors of chiropractic have yet to pass legislation requiring a degree from an accredited institution. The result is essentially two chiropractic professions. Nowhere is this danger more pronounced than in Japan.
