News in Brief

The chiropractic profession is navigating a dynamic landscape, marked by crucial legislative battles and significant strides in public engagement. A major focus is the Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act, which faces strong opposition from over 90 medical organizations, including the American College of Radiology and American Society of Neuroradiology. Chiropractors are urgently encouraged to contact their congressional representatives to counter this opposition and advocate for Medicare coverage that aligns with their full scope of practice.Amidst these legislative challenges, the profession is celebrating notable achievements in public awareness. The Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (F4CP) recently garnered a Bronze Award for its "Made Possible By" television advertising series, effectively showcasing chiropractic's positive impact on athletes across sports like golf, rodeo, and pickleball. Additionally, the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) has unveiled "Get Started with Chiropractic" as the theme for National Chiropractic Health Month (NCHM) this October, encouraging widespread promotion of the profession and its benefits. These concerted efforts underscore a period of both significant hurdles and promising advancements for chiropractic in mainstream healthcare.
