Forever Continuing Education in Chiropractic and Beyond, with Kathy Stavovy- Bannister (podcast)
Continuing your chiropractic education is a never-ending endeavor and in fact is a requirement to maintain chiropractic licensure. Kathy Stavovy-Bannister as Director of Postgraduate Education at Life University (Life U) works tirelessly to help take the guess work out of needed annual CE hours and what is required in various states.
The special main event hosted by the Postgraduate Department each year is Life Vision Extravaganza weekend, being held in September 18-20, 2025. Not only is it a homing of sorts for the Life U community, but it allows chiropractors to complete many CE hours in one place. Learn more at life.edu

Webster Technique is a ubiquitously present element in pediatric chiropractic, but for the unfamiliar layman, it would be nice to unravel the mystery a bit and pin down what it actually is and its purpose. As defined by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), “the Webster technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and diversified adjustment.”
Don’t Sit on This: The Dangers of a Sedentary Lifestyle
Prolonged sitting, compounded with poor posture, cause significant harm over time to the neck, back, joints and other areas of the neuromusculoskeletal system. A sedentary lifestyle, left unchecked, is detrimental to overall physical and mental health.

Poignant Ways to Honor Veterans and Military Personnel on Memorial Day
Memorial Day is a somewhat misunderstood holiday in the U.S. zeitgeist, seen by many civilians as the kickoff of summer with a vaguely patriotic backdrop. Yet, Memorial Day is intended as a time of solemn reflection and gratitude for those who have served in our military, particularly those who gave their lives in service. It might take the form of a moment of silence or spending much of the day in reflection, but one should be sure to take the time to honor veterans and soldiers on this day.
Faces of Life U: Andrew McIntosh, Ph.D.
Andrew McIntosh, Ph.D., lays claim to his heritage from Coleraine, Ireland (and with the charming Irish brogue to prove it.) He grew up with three siblings, one brother and two sisters, engulfed in the small-town life that makes up the tight-knit Northern Ireland community. Like many energetic young people looking for an athletic outlet, McIntosh quickly found rugby as a means of escape, exercise and enjoyment. At 18, he flew the coop to the United Kingdom to earn his B.S. in Anatomy and Human Biology from the University of Liverpool.
Positive Business- Doing Good with Good Work
Life University’s (Life U) business programs are based on the concept of promoting positive business.

How can you know if your business is a positive business?
Celebrating Chiropractic Associations: Why Chiropractors Should Join Them
Modern chiropractors owe much to the tireless work of chiropractic associations. In fact, without the efforts of chiropractic associations over the profession’s storied history, it is likely the profession would not have survived and thrived as it has. Historically, many chiropractic associations were formed out of a necessity to define chiropractic principles, defend chiropractors’ rights to practice and fight for advancement of the chiropractic profession.
