In the June 30 DC,1 we reported on an article in the June 2003 issue of Prevention magazine that espoused the benefits of chiropractic care.2 Unfortunately, more than a few Prevention subscribers were unable to read that article - a point they made clear in phone calls to our office.
DC contacted the offices of Prevention and was informed that subscribers age 55 and older receive a "Master's Edition" of the publication. Apparently, this version does not include several columns present in the "regular" edition sent to younger subscribers and distributed on newsstands. One of those columns is "Gotta Try It" - the very column that featured chiropractic.
While DC could not have reasonably foreseen such a development before going to press, we apologize for any confusion our readers may have experienced. To contact Prevention with comments or questions, call (800) 813-8070 or visit www.prevention.com/magazine.

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?
