In December 2000, Christopher Colloca, DC, filed a lawsuit challenging the ownership of Activator Methods International (AMI). The lawsuit was filed in the Maricopa County Superior Court of Arizona.
On Aug. 13, 2003, the court entered judgments in favor of AMI president Dr. Arlan W. Fuhr and his wife, Judi J. Fuhr, on all of the claims relating to Dr. Colloca's stock purchase agreement. The court also entered verdicts in favor of AMI on several issues related to Dr. Colloca's employment with AMI.
After those verdicts were handed down, the parties settled the remaining claims with no payment of money to the Collocas or their attorneys.
"We're pleased that the nearly three-year-old litigation ended in our favor," commented Dr. Arlan Fuhr, president and co-founder of Activator Methods International. "We are extremely grateful for the support we've received from our friends and family throughout this litigation."
Activator Methods and Dr. Fuhr look forward to continuing to provide chiropractic continuing education seminars and adjusting equipment to chiropractors throughout the world.
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?
