Norwegian lab company ORIVO has developed a first-of-its-kind test that verifies whether a fish oil product is made of real marine sources (salmon oil, salmon meal, anchovy oil, cod liver oil, krill oil, etc.); and the specific region (Norway, Alaska, Peru, Iceland, New Zealand, etc.) from which the fish oil was sourced.
Any fish oil product bearing the ORIVO seal is a guarantee that the product's claims are in line with the above two requirements. In other words, it ensures that the fish oil product you recommend / provide to your patients is what it claims to be.
Biotics Research Corporation is the first U.S. supplement brand to use the independent, third-party lab test to verify the authenticity of its fish oil products. (Biotics' fish oil products claim to use an anchovy sourced from the cold waters of the South Pacific Ocean off the South American coast. Using the ORIVO test, those claims can now be verified.)
ORIVO received partial funding to develop the test from the Norwegian Research Council and Innovation Norway, an organization that promotes business development throughout the country; with additional support from (among others) SINTEF Ocean, a department of Scandinavia's largest research and development institute, SINTEF.
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?
