A ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house on Oct. 15 marked the opening of Campbellsville University's School of Chiropractic – the 20th chiropractic program in the United States, only the fourth affiliated with a regionally accredited, liberal arts university, and the first in the state of Kentucky. The inaugural class will begin in January 2022, with Dr. Trevor Foshang as dean of chiropractic education and Dr. Dennis Short as associate vice president of chiropractic education and dean of chiropractic operations.
Per Dr. Short, the 223-credit-hour degree program has Southern Association of Councils and Schools (SACS) Commission on Colleges accreditation and is "currently on track and expect to obtain our programmatic accreditation on time and in alignment with [the Council on Chiropractic Education's] expectations. CCE's timetable places our full accreditation award approximately 18-24 months away."
Dr. Short also explained what makes Campbellsville's chiropractic curriculum unique: "We are revolutionizing the Chiropractic education process. With reduced tuition, clinically based basic sciences, clinical exposure from the first semester, community-based clerkships in a variety of settings, and a Chiropractic focused business curriculum; our students will be exceptionally prepared to succeed straight out of school."
A press release from the university expounds upon Dr. Short's praise of the program, noting the following:

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?
