NPCO to Field Team in 2012 Los Angeles Marathon

The Non-Profit Chiropractic Organization (NPCO) is excited to announce its participation in the 2012 Honda LA Marathon, being held on Sunday, March 18 in Los Angeles. Registration for this world-famous race opened Aug. 1 and NPCO is currently in the process of recruiting runners to be part of its inaugural team.

Including this year, NPCO has successfully fielded a team of runners to run on the behalf of chiropractic health care in the Chicago Marathon for the last three years. By adding the LA Marathon to the Team NPCO event schedule, NPCO hopes to have a great group of people represent chiropractic health care in one of the greatest marathons in the world.

The 26.2-mile LA Marathon course takes runners through many iconic landmarks in Los Angeles, beginning at the historic Dodger Stadium, winding through famous Hollywood landmarks, Beverly Hills and ultimately ending near the Santa Monica Pier.

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics
From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success. But while pain reduction is meaningful, it is an incomplete and often misleading representation of recovery. This has real consequences for patient adherence, long-term outcomes, and how conservative care is perceived within the broader healthcare system.
