Editorial Staff
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:
"Tuition is 20% lower than most other programs."
"No other chiropractic college offers four specialty business education courses designed to give graduates the skills they need to thrive as a practitioner as well as a profitable business leader."
"The School's program center in Harrodsburg offers cutting-edge technology that is unsurpassed in chiropractic education."
"Students in their final year will have the flexibility to do their community-based clerkship, or clinical rotation, anywhere in the country."
"As part of a comprehensive Christian institution guided by core values, the School of Chiropractic fosters health and well-being from a distinctly Christian perspective."
While there may be no “magic bullet” when it comes to health, this should not dissuade patients or practitioners from seeking out ingredients that offer multiple health benefits. When it comes to dietary supplements, there are thousands upon thousands of choices. So, why not choose one that can address pain and assist with mental health? A supplement that can address inflammation, while also preventing certain types of cancer.

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.
