Generally Speaking

It’s hard to believe 2016 is here, and the Texas Chiropractic Association is already hard at work to serve you, our members and the entire Texas chiropractic community.

TCA Tour of Texas

TCA is officially kicking off its TCA Tour of Texas, our grassroots initiative to connect with doctors of chiropractic across the state, on Tuesday, Jan. 5, in San Antonio. Renowned chiropractic coach Charles Ward, DC, will offer The Keys to Becoming Fulling Engaged in Your Practice. In addition, TCA will provide important legislative and legal updates and highlight upcoming activities. San Antonio-area docs, don’t miss this opportunity to find out what’s happening at the state level and network with your peers. It should be fun!

The TCA Tour of Texas will roll into Dallas on Monday, Jan. 11, and Fort Worth on Tuesday, Jan. 12, with media expert, best-selling author and Parker University President Emeritus Fab Mancini, DC, sharing The Three Powerful Ways to Grow Your Practice. A week later, the TCA Tour of Texas hits Austin on Tuesday, Jan. 19, with Dr. Ward the featured speaker.

If you practice or live in these areas, register online and indicate the city. Please bring your spouse, significant other or a guest, particularly another DC. If you are from another part of the state, look for announcements on upcoming TCA Tour of Texas stops.

 

Conferences and One-Day CE Seminars

It’s not too early to start planning your continuing education activities. I ask you to choose TCA. By supporting your state association, it give us the resources to serve you and protect the profession that we love.

The first event is TCA’s 2016 Mid-Winter Conference on Feb. 26-28 in Lubbock. The premier chiropractic event in the Texas Panhandle, Mid-Winter has an incredible line-up of speakers, including leading chiropractic radiologist Terry Yochum, DC, DACBR, Fellow – ACCR.

TCA’s Chiro Texpo ’16 conference, the chiropractic event of the year in Texas, is coming to the Arlington Convention Center on June 10-12. Mark these dates on your calendar! Sports chiropractor Troy Van Biezen, DC, ART, is one of the headliners. Dr. Van Biezen’s patients include PGA Tour Player of the Year and 2015 Masters and U.S. Open winner Jordan Spieth and 2015 British Open champion Zach Johnson. Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks!

TCA also is launching a series of one-day education seminars around the state.

The topics and dates for these one-day events include: 

If you have suggestions on other seminar topics or have questions about your TCA membership, please contact the TCA office at (512) 477-9292 or email us at info@chirotexas.org.

It’s an honor to serve as your executive director. I hope to meet you during the upcoming TCA Tour of Texas or at one of our educational events in 2016. Wishing you and your practice tremendous success in the coming year!

This study concludes low back pain should not be considered transient and therefore neglected, since the condition rarely seems to be self-limiting but merely presents with periodic attacks and temporary remissions.
