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.

First Chiropractic Residency Program at VA Hospital
New York Chiropractic College (NYCC) recently announced it has partnered with the Canandaigua VA Medical Center in Canandaigua, N.Y., to create an integrated care chiropractic residency program – the first such program to be established at a Veterans Administration health care facility, according to the college.
NYCC residents will work alongside VA providers and experience rotations with specialists in neurology, orthopedics, physiatry, pain management, primary care and physical therapy at the medical center. NYCC has an existing relationship with Canandaigua VAMC; it operates several academic and research programs at the center.
