FCA Reschedules The National

Editorial Staff

The Florida Chiropractic Association (FCA) has rescheduled its signature convention and expo, The National, from its original Aug. 27-30, 2020 date due to rising COVID-19 case counts in Florida and elsewhere over the past several months. As of press time, The National will be held Nov. 5-8, 2020, at the original event location, the Hyatt Regency Orlando.

In making the announcement, the FCA emphasized that a virtual component will also be available for this and future association events to accommodate those who cannot join the event in person: "[F]or those who feel 2020 is too soon to attend any event, we still ask you to join us this year as we offer our first-ever virtual component to conventions. This virtual option will be available with every event for the foreseeable future."

While canes, braces and posts represent extrinsic methods for lessening adductor moment arms, an intrinsic method for lessening the development of medial knee osteoarthritis occurs when the hip abductor musculature and the iliotibial band are strong enough to create a compressive force capable of stabilizing the lateral knee.
