Over the past 15 months, we have all made our way through the uncertainty caused by COVID while doing our best to provide excellent service, in spite of the daily challenges and changes in our society. Some report ongoing struggles with their practices, while others report having a record year.
What makes the difference? The National by FCA, the world's largest chiropractic convention and expo, is here to explore that question, share keys to success and provide the connections you need to create the practice of your dreams, in spite of the complicated changes we all face today.
The National now features not only 20 hours of great session options in Orlando, Fla., but also a complete virtual option; and even a live-plus-on-demand combination for those who need to miss a few of the live class hours to practice, travel or visit area attractions. On Aug. 26-29, it will offer what The National is known for: the most variety, highest-quality education, latest industry research, networking opportunities and a 318-booth expo featuring the newest products and services, making it easy for attendees to find all they need in one safe + clean place.

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?
