Life University has announced a nationwide, nine-city tour designed to help the profession help itself. "LIFE in Your City" is a three-day event in each city, and provides elements that will help DCs earn continuing education, allow their patients to hear the chiropractic message from Life University President, Dr. Guy Riekeman, and take part in attracting the next generation of chiropractors.
"We need more chiropractors and we need better patient education," said Riekeman "LIFE in Your City is designed to accomplish both these [goals], as well as providing an incentive to engage chiropractors with continuing education." The program will also serve as a tool to help DCs grow their practices.
LIFE in Your City will commence Thursday-Saturday, April 19-21, in Miami, Fla. The three days will include state-approved continuing education on Thursday, along with a special presentation for patients. Friday and Saturday will be about getting prospective students interested in the profession via dynamic speakers, hands‐on activities and special presentations. Other cities on the tour include Philadelphia, San Diego, Orlando, Milwaukee, Columbus (Ohio), Los Angeles, Tampa and Denver.
The nine-city tour will take place over a two-year period, concluding in April 2014. Additional cities may be added.

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?
