Chiropractic Lingo- Demystifying Major Chiropractic Words and Phrases
For those relatively new to the chiropractic world, it can often feel like stumbling onto a far-off planet with well-meaning, health-focused aliens spouting off jargon that is natural to them but exotic and foreign to the rest of us. Don’t be afraid to ask if you come across a word or phrase that doesn’t make sense to you, as it is a chiropractor’s (or a chiropractic student’s) privilege to share about the benefits of chiropractic care in a way that is clear, concise and relevant for those with whom they interact.
Chiropractors & Aging Out: Life U’s Efforts Equipping the Upcoming Chiropractic Workforce
The concern for chiropractors as projections are made for the future is a simple math problem that does not necessarily have a simple answer. As chiropractors who have lived out their professional lives to serve Chiropractic begin to retire, is there a matching or surpassing number of young or future chiropractors to not only replace them but hopefully grow the profession in a positive direction?
Asking the right questions in Research with Dr. William Vicory – Podcast
A curious mind is an active one, and one that may be best suited for a career in Research. Dr. William Vicory is a Biomedical Engineer for the Dr. Sid E. Williams Center for Chiropractic Research here at Life University. He discusses his unconventional path toward academic research, how compelling questions compelled him to dig deeper and learn in a dynamic way. He is working on some exciting projects, including a sit-up model of PAT, our lovable 3D chiropractic mannequins.
Researching the Art of the Adjustment with Dr. Brent Russell – Podcast
Dr. Brent Russell is something of an institution here at Life University, first as an alumnus, then as a Faculty Clinician and now as a Research Professor that wears many hats for the Research Department. He leads the team that conducts research on “The Art of the Adjustment”, with the overarching goal of contributing to a breadth of research knowledge on what is exactly going on during an adjustment, how much force is involved and the potential benefits etc. The Palpation and Adjustment Trainer (PAT) became a big piece of that equation during the Covid 19 pandemic and beyond, and continues to be a tool with immense research and student practice capabilities.
The Use of PAT at Life University Proves a Success!
Behind every great innovation is a question that needs solving. For us at Life University, that question was simple: how can we train as many future doctors of chiropractic as possible without sacrificing our standards of excellence or safety? This is the driving force behind Life University’s technique lab of the future. It guides all of our research and every development.
