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.
Foot Levelers Donates All Proceeds From 60th Anniversary Seminars
Foot Levelers has donated all of the proceeds from its 60th Anniversary Seminars back to the chiropractic profession in honor of the anniversary and serving chiropractic for 60 years. Thirteen chiropractic colleges will benefit from the $36,000 Foot Levelers will be donating, and the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (FCP) will receive more than $10,000.
For each attendee at the seminar, $100 of their registration fee was donated to the college of their choice and Foot Levelers matched this with an additional $100 to that college. Additionally, Foot Levelers donated the balance of the proceeds to the FCP.
"As far back as I can remember, Foot Levelers has always believed strongly in the importance of chiropractic education on both a college level and post-doctoral level," said Kent Greenawalt, chairman and CEO of Foot Levelers. "These seminars meant a lot to us because it allowed us to celebrate our 60th anniversary, provide quality education, and give back to chiropractic profession in order to help the profession to grow and become as successful as possible."
