EDITOR'S MEMO
This month, we spotlight the official partnership between Life University and Disc Centers of America (DCOA). This initiative establishes the world’s first chiropractic university-based, non-surgical spinal disc treatment specialty, integrating DCOA’s industry-leading decompression protocols directly into Life’s curriculum and clinical system. Supported by DCOA’s donation of Accu-SPINA decompression tables and comprehensive clinical protocols, this partnership equips students with proven, evidence-based tools to meet the growing demand for conservative, non-invasive disc care. Read the foil interview with Drs. Eric Kaplan and Perry Bard, and Life University leadership, Drs. Kevin Fogarty and Brian McAulay, featured on this issue’s cover. Turn to page 18 for the full story.
Next, turn to page 30 for Dr. Christopher J. Colloca’s must-read article, “The Chiropractic Scoreboard: 5 Core Practice Management Metrics That Create Better Care and Stronger Practices.” These key metrics, when tracked consistently, separate thriving, efficient practices from those plagued by disorganization and burnout. Dr. Colloca delivers practical, actionable advice that can elevate your clinic immediately.
This issue is packed with more gems: cutting-edge insights on shockwave therapy, percussion rehab, athletic performance, immunology via mesenchymal stem cells, hormone-directed homeopathics, and medico-legal opportunities for DCs. Thank you to the sponsors whose continued support makes this publication possible each month. Please let them know you saw their ad in The American Chiropractor.
