News & Features
 | Evolution of instrumentation --
Since the earliest days of
chiropractic, chiropractors realized the importance of obtaining objective
measurements of various neurological and physiological changes. |

years of intense effort by a large group of chiropractors, researchers and
other experts from around the world. |
| DC runs marathon for Oklahaven --

| ABCA picks new president

convention in August, the American Black Chiropractic Association (ABCA)

| The energy of autism by Barbara Stahura
-- We perceive the universe through
our limited human senses, so it's understandable if we forget it's all
nothing but energy. Far beneath what we see, hear, taste, smell, and touch
lies the Zero Point Field, where nothing exists but the foundational
energy of everything. |
| To be or not to be an 'associate' --
that's the question by Dr. Timothy J. Gay --
When I graduated from chiropractic
college, I felt we were all on the path to changing the world. My
chiropractic brothers and sisters all had very different slants on how
they were going to practice. Some were going into practice with family
members who wanted them to work in the family practice. |
Columns
| What is sacred can never be
forgotten by Dr. Kevin Pallis and Dr. Ed Plentz --
When did you last give thanks to the
person who helped you get into the wonderful and exciting world of
chiropractic? Maybe it was a DC in the field who uttered those immortal
words "why don't you think about being a chiropractor?" |
| Why am I promoting Zrii? by Dr.
Terry A. Rondberg -- Throughout
my career as a chiropractor and chiropractic activist, I've taken many
bold, controversial actions. I've stood up for what I believed was best
for chiropractic and the patients we serve. I've almost always angered my
enemies (as if I care) and occasionally caused even my friends to shake
their heads in disapproval or puzzlement. |
| Honor by Dr. Ogi Ressel --
So, you want to see more kids.
However, there's a certain quality all parents are looking for in a doctor
before they allow him or her to see their children.
Honor.
Now, there's a concept! |
| Succeeding in the face of adversity
by Dr. CJ Mertz -- More than
half of the adversity we experience is brought upon ourselves. The rest
can be effectively managed, but usually not prevented. Succeeding in the
face of adversity is what separates those who keep winning from everyone
else. |
| The physics of failure by Dr. Mark
Payne -- In my last column, I
revealed chiropractic's "dirty little secret." There's no hiding from it
now...the word is out. We are a profession built upon the premise that
structural misalignment results in bodily dysfunction. The only problem is
traditional chiropractic adjustments don't do very much to change spinal
structure. Sorry to be the one to break the news but it's a fact. |
| The Stress Response by DeDe Van
Riper -- Chiropractic's future
is being decided at this very moment. It's often difficult to see you're
at a crossroads when you're standing in the middle. But take my word for
it, chiropractic's there. Years from now we'll all look back and realize
that this period in our profession was a defining moment. The question now
is, which way will we go? While the options are pretty clear, the answer
may not be. |
