I Was Investigated and This Is What I Learned

Many years ago, I was reported to my state licensing board by another chiropractor who did not like what I was teaching. It turns out that it’s not uncommon to be reported by another chiropractor.

What Are You Doing to Help Our Aging Population?

The United States Census Bureau’s estimates project that 78 million people will be over the age of 65 by 2035, while 76.7 million will be 18 or younger. (Meola, 2019) Although the rising cost of health care is a concern, so is the realization that we are facing a provider shortage in our country.
