Wondering about chiropractic care in the Age of COVID-19 and how you should be interacting with your colleagues, patients and the general public? That's precisely the topic tackled in an important dialogue moderated by Gerard W. Clum, DC, director of The Octagon at Life University and featuring discussion by Heidi Haavik, DC, PhD, director of Research, Centre for Chiropractic Research at the New Zealand Chiropractic College; Dan Murphy, DC, DABCO, faculty member at Life Chiropractic College West; and James Chestnut, BEd, MS, DC, founder and president of The Wellness Practice.
Designed to "bring greater clarity to the expectations of the practicing chiropractor during this public health emergency," the dialogue "explores the information available on the potential relationship between chiropractic care and immune-competency, with candid input on where we have evidence and the type of evidence present."
The presentations are available free of charge in two video formats, plus audio only:

"We have brought together three of the most respected voices of the profession, especially within the practicing community, to share their understandings of our current circumstances and to be advised as to how to best relate to each other as well as to the patients we serve," said Dr. Clum in a Life University press release announcing the availability of the dialogue. "This discussion applies equally to chiropractors all over the globe."
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?
