Foot Levelers Named a National Chiropractic Health Month Sponsor

The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) has announced that Foot Levelers is helping to raise public awareness of chiropractic by sponsoring National Chiropractic Health Month (NCHM) 2012. ACA's nationwide, annual observance (held in October) raises public awareness of the benefits of the services provided by chiropractic physicians and their natural, whole-person, patient-centered approach to health and wellness.

This year's NCHM theme, "Discover Chiropractic: Find Your Game," focuses on how chiropractic physicians can help people feel their best every day, regardless of age, occupation or fitness level; and how everyone can get active and take simple steps toward optimal health, wellness and functioning.

"Foot Levelers is an obvious choice to join ACA in its efforts to promote optimal functioning. The company aims to improve literally every step patients take by partnering with health care professionals to provide outstanding orthotics and other products that help keep patients in the game," said ACA President Keith Overland, DC. "National Chiropractic Health Month is a celebration of how a healthy, active lifestyle – that is enhanced by the services provided by chiropractic physicians – can help patients feel their best, naturally."

"Coming from a chiropractic family, I've always know how important whole-person health care is to leading a full, active life, so I have always been, and will remain, passionate about supporting the chiropractic profession and its holistic approach to living a better life," said Kent Greenawalt, CEO and chairman of Foot Levelers. "We are excited to have the opportunity to support National Chiropractic Health Month, and we value the opportunity to work with ACA to promote the benefits of a ground-up, total-body approach to wellness."

In addition to its own NCHM activities, ACA offers an online tool kit for chiropractic physicians, as well as state chiropractic associations, chiropractic colleges, Student ACA (SACA) chapters and anyone who wishes to participate. The kit contains information and resources that will assist participants in planning and implementing NCHM activities at local and regional levels. Certain resources are exclusively available to ACA members. To learn more, visit www.acatoday.org/NCHM.

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. And in spite of their efforts, Japanese DCs are currently faced with two chiropractic professions.

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.
