Many have learned ACA President the hard way that lack of movement and physical activity can lead to weight gain, achy joints and more. Finding ways to move more enhances our physical health, stamina, mental health and feelings of well-being, helping us to “keep moving” through challenging times. During NCHM 2021, chiropractors shared information on the benefits of movement, recommended physical activity levels and gave advice on increasing daily movement.

new advances in chiropractic. The event brings together doctors, students and industry leaders from across the country to network within the profession and with members of Congress.
During ACA’s annual Advocacy Day, which occurs during ACA Engage, members will continue to advocate for the Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act (H.R. 2654), reintroduced in the U.S. House of Representatives earlier this year. The bill would ensure that Medicare beneficiaries have access to all Medicare-covered services that DCs are licensed by their state to provide. By late October, H.R. 2654 had already gained 97 cosponsors. For more information, visit HR2654.org.
FICS Launches Charitable Initiative to Bridge Gap in Care
The International Federation of Sports Chiropractic/ Fédération Internationale de Chiropratique du Sport (FICS) is excited to launch FICS Charity, furthering the vision that “Every Athlete Deserves Access to Sports Chiropractic.” The charity supports student scholarships, volunteers at international sporting events and sports chiropractic research. FICS believes that an investment in today’s graduating students is an investment in the future of sports chiropractic, and for this reason FICS provides a range of support services to students to assist them in their final year of study.
Applications for the 2022 Student Scholarship, for which Logan University is a champion sponsor, closed in October, and winners will be announced soon. In support of the 2022 Emerging Student Scholarship, Erchonia Corporation donated a $7,400 XLR8 Handheld Cold Laser, and those who donated to FICS Charity were entered into a drawing to win.
