Dr. Sherry McAllister, executive vice president of the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress, (F4CP), has been accepted into the Forbes Nonprofit Council, an invitation-only community of chief executives involved in nonprofits. Her inclusion positions the foundation to expand its sphere of influence in its efforts to promote the value of chiropractic care.
The Nonprofit Council is one of nine Forbes industry councils established via a partnership between Forbes Media and the Young Entrepreneur Council (YEC) as a way to allow business leaders and owners to "come together with the people and resources that can help them thrive. ... We bring these members together in communities tailored to their industry or region so that they can connect with others best positioned to help them overcome challenges and create new opportunities."
"We are honored to welcome Dr. McAllister into the community," said Scott Gerber, founder of Forbes Councils, the collective that includes the Nonprofit Council. "Our mission with Forbes Councils is to bring together proven leaders from every industry, creating a curated, social capital-driven network that helps every member grow professionally and make an even greater impact on the business world."
The foundation summarized some of the benefits the chiropractic profession can derive from having a presence on the council:
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?
