While many of the concepts of caring for our athletes can be transposed between men and women, all female athletes need support regardless of age. Some of the most common injuries in women’s sports include shin splints, ACL strains / tears, and other overuse injuries to the back and lower extremities. A supportive foundation is essential for an athlete’s body to manage the weight and pressure exerted through their feet.
The First Century of the Science, Art & Philosophy of CHIROPRACTIC
Here are four areas where you can make a difference in preserving the profession's past:
1.
a. Determine from the administration of your alma mater how a donation will support and/or encourage historical research at the college.
b. Determine who at your college may be doing historical research (see AMER. J. CHIRO. MED. 1990 (March), Chiropractic History 1989 (December) & 1990 (July).
c. If the results of a & b (above) are positive, make a donation to your alma mater or another chiropractic college.
2.
a. Join the ASSOCIATION FOR THE HISTORY OF CHIROPRACTIC (AHC), and receive a subscription to Chiropractic History, the AHC's journal.
b. Attend the annual AHC historical conference (this year at Parker College of Chiropractic, June 2, 1990, Dallas).
3.
a. Make a donation to the CHIROPRACTIC HISTORICAL FUND of the NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF CHIROPRACTIC RESEARCH (NICR).
4.
a. Contribute old books, journals, legal and clinic records, advertisements, correspondence and equipment to a chiropractic college archive (e.g., PALMER COLLEGE/Davenport, LOGAN COLLEGE in St. Louis.)
