National University of Health Sciences (NUHS) has announced that PubMed, the prestigious search engine of the National Library of Medicine, now includes the Journal of Chiropractic Humanities among its indexed publications.
JCH began in 1991 as Philosophical Constructs for the Chiropractic Profession. In 1993, the journal changed its name and broadened its purpose, becoming the Journal of Chiropractic Humanities. Today, the mission of the JCH is: "to foster scholarly debate and interaction within the chiropractic profession regarding the humanities, which includes history, philosophy, linguistics, literature, jurisprudence, ethics, theory, sociology, comparative religions, and aspects of social sciences that address historical or philosophical approaches."
"Although JCH is currently indexed in several other indexing systems," said JCH Editor Claire Johnson, DC, "PubMed is where health care providers and decision-makers look when searching for trustworthy and high quality literature."
"With the addition of JCH, all three of our journals are now indexed in PubMed," said James Winterstein, DC, president of NUHS, which publishes the journal. (NUHS' other two journals are the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics and the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine.) "My personal thanks and appreciation goes to editor-in-chief of the journal, Dr. Claire Johnson, and Associate Editor Bart Green, DC, for their dedication and commitment to the quality and content of the JCH. That quality has made this indexing possible."

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?
