VA OKs chiropractic care
but keeps primary care oversight -
Victory or Slavery?
The April 19, 2004 issue of the American Medical News announced that chiropractic care has been accepted into the VA, but with ultimate control by the medical profession. While some hail this as a victory, some see this as a stunning defeat. Depending on your perspective, you can make the call. Below are the various releases on this important issue.

Chiropractic Coalition's Legislative Day on April 29th in Washington, D.C.
The
future of chiropractic is in the balance. That’s why the Chiropractic Coalition
is working so hard to mobilize hundreds of DC's, students, CA's and family
members on behalf of key legislative opportunities, such as HR 3476, the new
TRICARE initiative.
Legislative Work Day 2004 will be held on Thursday, April 29th with events at the U.S. Capitol complex and the J.W. Marriott Hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue. Events will kick off at 8:00 a.m. when members and leaders of the WCA, the ICA and the FSCO will gather in the Gold Room 2168 of the Rayburn House Office Building at the Capitol for a political rally and send off. Be part of the first legislative action day for members of all three organizations and hundreds of other dedicated DC' who care about chiropractic's future!
While there is NO REGISTRATION FEE to participate, if you have not already done so, we ask that you please click here to register now: www.chiropracticcoalition.org/registration.htm so that we have a proper head count of how many to expect. Then please reply to let me know that you will be there.

Coach’s Corner
In
the old days, coaches were called Practice Management Consultants. Spending many
weekend’s on the road at different seminars has allowed us to experience first
hand the differing styles among coaches. As practices are different, so are
coaches and their approaches. In an effort to keep you up to date and informed
as to some of the different coaches that are available to you, we will be making
information available directly from the coaches that we work closely with. Visit
their websites, contact them, and check out their seminars to see which coach
may be right to help you take your practice to the next level.
The 2X+1 Chiropractic Mastermind, led by Dr. Tony Palermo (left) and Mr. Jeff Smith is a private group of the world's most successful docs who have quietly revolutionized their practices using the proprietary "2X + 1 System" which is OPPOSITE of what practice management or coaching "gurus" teach. These docs are now serving on a higher, more profound level, while enjoying record practice growth AND more fun and time off than ever before. Check out their website to discover if YOU have what it takes to achieve this kind of results, too. www.chiromastermind.com.

Why I Recommend Now You Know; by Dr. Eric Plasker
Why do I recommend Now You Know so highly?
Because they know what you and your patients need to know about the latest
chiropractic and healthcare trends. Now You Know is simple and effective.
Period. Every chiropractor wants a website and e-mail newsletter resource to
help bring their practices into the 21st century. Now You Know will help you
deliver on-going, effective communications to your new and prospective patients
and everyone in your community!
To put this kind of quality product together by yourself would be expensive and time consuming. Chiropractors in The Family Practice are very happy with the service Now You Know provides. So, when it comes to timely and pertinent health information for your patients and yourself, Know You Know is definitely the way to go.
Eric Plasker D.C.
CEO and Founder of The Family Practice
