FOOT LEVELERS LAUNCHES NEW REHABILITATION WEBSITE

Roanoke, VAFoot Levelers is proud to welcome Chiropractors and the general public to its new Rehabilitation Website, which offers exciting and interactive resources showing patients how to perform rehabilitative exercises. The ultimate goal of this website is to provide patients access to safe, easy-to-follow exercises to help prevent and reduce pain.

 

The Foot Levelers Rehabilitation Website is a convenient education tool that’s packed with material ideal for incorporating into treatment care programs and sharing with patients. It’s designed to help patients learn more about their conditions and how to perform in-home rehab exercises for improved results and faster recovery. This helps support a holistic, non-invasive approach to wellness and healing naturally rather than through alternatives such as opioids or surgery. 

 

The robust website has a wealth of informative rehab articles and videos that demonstrate the proper way to perform exercises and use equipment like the TRI-FLEX®️ total body rehab system. Content is conveniently organized by different parts of the body like the feet, shoulders and spine with information on common conditions in those areas and their treatments. Some of those common conditions include plantar fasciitis, bursitis, knee pain, and low back pain. Website visitors seeking care can fill out a contact page to be referred to a Foot Levelers provider for treatment.  

 

To develop the website, Foot Levelers partnered with esteemed chiropractors who shared their recommendations and insights, supervised the video shoots, and reviewed content before launch. The website was custom-built for use on multiple platforms, allowing users to conveniently access content from their smart phones, tablets, computers or other devices. 

 

The website is a valuable tool for providing virtual care to patients in addition to or in lieu of office visits. With many people performing rehabilitation at home for social distancing and other reasons, the website is a convenient and easy way for them to access the information they need to do it successfully from wherever they are. 

 

Bad posture and poor ergonomic conditions at home and work can contribute to joint pain and increase the risk for injury. Chiropractic care and rehabilitation combined with custom orthotics are a proven alternative for healing conditions that cause pain rather than just treating the pain itself.

 

“We created the Foot Levelers Rehabilitation Website to help health care professionals achieve the very best outcomes with rehabilitative care, by providing videos and information not available anywhere else,” explains Kent Greenawalt, Chairman and CEO of Foot Levelers, Inc. “We’re excited about the benefits doctors and their patients will receive from this dynamic, easy-to-use website and are sure that it will contribute to improved healing and higher quality of life.”

Parker University Celebrates 100th Birthday of its Founder, Dr. Jim Parker

In remembrance of its founder, the late Dr. Jim Parker, Parker University is proud to recognize and celebrate his 100th birthday on September 12. Because of Dr. Parker’s commitment to success and his willingness to make a difference in others’ lives through chiropractic, Parker University is what it is today – the fourth-fastest growing college in Texas, with more than 1,800 students and 34 academic programs. 

Born in Snyder, Texas, on September 12, 1920, Dr. Parker suffered from various chronic illnesses throughout his young life. In 1942, in an Austin newspaper, Dr. Parker read about a man with similar illnesses who was helped by chiropractic treatments. Within months of starting chiropractic treatments himself, Dr. Parker’s ailments improved. Impressive results ultimately led Dr. Parker to become a Doctor of Chiropractic. 

While a student at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, Dr. Parker established two chiropractic clinics in Illinois. He moved to Fort Worth in 1947 and opened 18 clinics in Texas, including cities like Fort Worth, Houston, Beaumont, Baytown, and Austin.

In 1951, Dr. Parker began the Parker Chiropractic Resource Foundation (PCRF), with seminars worldwide taught through his Parker School for Professional Success (PSPS). In 1971, he created Share International, the world’s largest supplier of chiropractic products. 

From 1963 to 1970, Dr. Parker traveled the world conducting his seminars. Throughout his prestigious career, Dr. Parker taught more than 500,000 Doctors of Chiropractic globally. 

In 1978, Dr. Parker led a march in Washington, D.C., to petition the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare to grant the same rights and privileges to Doctors of Chiropractic as it did to medical doctors. He also played a vital role in convincing Louisiana legislators to license chiropractors.

In September 1982, Dr. Parker opened Parker College of Chiropractic in Irving. The college began as an extension of his Parker Seminars program, and he served as president of the college until 1996.

When serving as president of Parker College of Chiropractic, on the Parker Chiropractic Resource Foundation, and through Share International, Dr. Parker developed a reputation as a respected speaker and visionary in chiropractic. Honorary degrees and citizens’ awards were bestowed upon Dr. Parker. He received commendations from state chiropractic associations and chiropractic groups worldwide, including the American Chiropractic Association and the International Chiropractic Association.

For five decades, Dr. Parker’s passion was dedicated to chiropractic, up to his passing in 1997. Even today, Parker University’s philosophy of service to others is rooted in the principles and beliefs Dr. Parker felt so strongly about establishing. 

Parker University President Dr. Bill Morgan says, “Parker University owes the legacy of James W. Parker our deepest gratitude. His vision, energy, and unstoppable drive created a university worthy to bear his name. We, at Parker, strive to honor his memory through excellence, loving service, and dedication to the healing arts.”

It is an honor to celebrate the remarkable life and impressive career of Dr. Parker. The chiropractic industry is what it is today because of his commitment to serving others and his putting innovative chiropractic care above all else. Happy birthday, Dr. Parker!

Genesis Chiropractic Software and Billing Network Announces New Integrated HIPAA Compliant Telehealth Integration

Genesis Chiropractic Software and Billing Network, the leading cloud-based business management solution for chiropractors, announced today the launch of its integrated, HIPAA compliant, telehealth solution, available to US-based clients immediately. With Genesis telehealth, healthcare professionals can start running their virtual practice in under 90 seconds.

According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, there’s been a dramatic increase in the utilization of telehealth services for primary care delivery in Fee-for-Service (FFS) Medicare since the early days of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

“Covid-19 has changed the way in which doctors are interacting with their patients for the better,” said Brian Capra, DC Founder and President of Genesis Chiropractic Software. “The new healthcare landscape has forced doctors to pivot in order to achieve proper patient care, which is why HIPAA-compliant, video conferencing is more important now than ever.”

According to Capra, doctors face several challenges, “for some doctors, they simply aren’t tech savvy and do not know where to begin, for others, using video conferencing tools that aren’t integrated with their current daily workflow and practice management technology is not intuitive or convenient.”

The Genesis telehealth platform helps solve these issues because it integrates with a practice’s current patient appointment book. This allows doctors to easily send secure links directly to their patients prior to the virtual appointment. “This is a game changer because insurance companies are starting to pay for virtual doctor visits,” adds Capra.

Additionally, both doctors and their patients benefit from the new platform because appointment reminder emails and SMS are now in one place and the doctor is no longer using two different systems.

About Genesis Chiropractic Software (GCS)
GCS from Billing Precision, LLC was designed by chiropractic business owners with both patient experience and practice profitability in mind. It provides a complete chiropractic practice management system in the cloud that supports every role in a busy chiropractic practice, from the owner and practitioners to the front desk and back office.

FOOT LEVELERS ANNOUNCES MAJOR ENHANCEMENTS TO INMOTION®, THE WORLD’S NO.1-PROVIDED CUSTOM ORTHOTIC

The InMotion is Foot Levelers’ most popular orthotic

Roanoke, VA – Firefighters have one of the most physically-demanding jobs. That’s why Foot Levelers partnered with a local fire department when developing enhancements to the world’s No. 1-provided custom orthotic, the InMotion®. The InMotion, just like all of Foot Levelers custom orthotics, offers maximum comfort and support to help reduce pain throughout the body.

 

Foot Levelers custom orthotics are the only ones to include the patented Gait Cycle System, which provides support for the heel while walking, a boost during toe-off, and support for all three arches of the foot while standing. Each Foot Levelers custom orthotic, including the InMotion, comes with a 1-year, 100% money-back guarantee. 

 

 

Released in 2011, InMotion is popular with everyone from firefighters and athletes to those who just like to stay active. That’s because they can wear these versatile orthotics throughout their day, in virtually any type of shoe, from sports to leisure activities. There’s also a version that is made to fit perfectly for dress shoes.

The process of enhancing Foot Levelers’ InMotion custom orthotic was years in the making. Foot Levelers partnered with the Roanoke (Va.) City Fire Department, a group who works in the most extreme conditions and are constantly on their feet, to test the strength and durability of the InMotion orthotic. Based on their feedback, the new and improved InMotion was developed.

 

Some of the benefits of Foot Levelers’ newly-enhanced InMotion orthotic include:

 

  • Top cover that helps regulate temperature1 and minimizes moisture retention

  • Special materials to control odor

  • Design that enhances oxygen levels and blood flow2

  • Upgraded grip for better stability during athletic activity

  • Lightweight, flexible and comfortable to wear

 

Jamie Greenawalt, Foot Levelers Senior Vice President of Business Development, says:

“We’re pleased to introduce these exciting enhancements to the world’s most popular orthotic, the InMotion. Patients have made InMotion the No. 1 custom orthotic because it helps them achieve their goals without pain holding them back. They’re doing things they never thought they could do, and returning to activities they never thought they’d do again. Foot Levelers is committed to giving patients the best support by always incorporating the latest technology and best materials into our products.”

 

Custom orthotics like InMotion help to stabilize the foot by supporting the arches and restoring proper balance and alignment. When used along with Chiropractic care, custom orthotics contribute to better patient results and help adjustments hold better. Wearing them not only helps to increase energy and performance, but can also lessen pain. For example, Foot Levelers custom orthotics have been proven to reduce Low Back Pain (LBP), a potentially debilitating condition, by 34.5 percent3

 

Foot Levelers custom orthotics can also help provide relief for foot pain, knee pain, shin splints, hip pain, and many more conditions.

Chiropractors Lead the Way in the Clinical Use of LED Light Therapy with TrueLight by TrueDark

LED light therapy is a healthy, cost-effective alternative to drugs and surgery for healing the body.

SEATTLE, December 20, 2019 – As research continues to validate the science and beneficial effects of light-emitting diode (LED) therapy on the human body, chiropractic offices all over the globe are leveraging the power of LED light therapy (also known as photobiomodulation) to help their patients reduce chronic pain and inflammation. Many chiropractors are also selling TrueLight light therapy devices to their patients for cost-effective, at-home use in between office visits and long-term therapy needs.

LED light therapy is defined as a painless, non-invasive form of treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to help heal the body. Over 3,000 peer-reviewed scientific studies to date have shown that photobiomodulation can have many positive biological effects, including but not limited to:

  • Accelerated muscle recovery
  • Faster would/injury healing
  • Pain relief
  • Improved blood and oxygen circulation
  • Reduced inflammation
  • Fat loss
  • Anti-aging (reduced wrinkles and fine lines)
  • Increase in strength and endurance
  • Improved hormonal health
  • Improved energy levels and mood
  • Improved cognitive function
  • Reduce skin irritation, UV damage, and redness (e.g. rosacea)

While LED technology is not a literal “magic” pill, it is highly favored because of its far-reaching abilities without pain or the use of drugs. Exposure to the diffused light essentially triggers the mitochondria in the body’s cells and results in the production of additional ATP (energy). So, it’s fair to say that the human body isn’t just fueled by food, but also light.

NASA initially developed this technology to protect astronauts’ health – more specifically, to promote the growth and generation of healthy cells, prevent bone and muscle loss, and speed up wound healing — which can be greatly impacted by a lack of gravity. In the world of chiropractic treatments, which focus on muscle, joint and/or bone pain, photobiomodulation can be a very effective, complimentary tool for muscle recovery, tissue regeneration, and pain management.

TrueLight light therapy devices emit a patent-pending combination of light wavelengths to heal the body from the surface of the skin all the way down to the bone. This combination includes deep red (660nm), red (630nm), near-infrared (NIR) (850nm), and yellow light (580nm). Red and NIR have deep penetration levels, allowing the dispersed light to reach into cells, tissues, blood, nerves, and bones. When the light reaches the cells, it also promotes the release of nitric oxide (NO) from the mitochondria. This is especially important for chiropractors and their patients to know because the release of NO helps dilate blood vessels and stimulate ATP production, which in turn can accelerate healing, muscle recovery, and tissue strengthening. Yellow light has a much shallower penetration level and is ideal for creating primary cellular movement at the top layer of skin. (Think reducing skin irritation and redness.)

Truelight photobiomodulation devices are also unique in that they have two different light modes: steady and pulsed light. It has been discovered that when LED lights are pulsed, they stimulate the cells and enable them to produce more protein and ATP, which can help cells heal faster. Alternatively, a steady beam of light can remove/dull pain, reduce inflammation, and allows muscle tissue to relax.

More and more chiropractors are recommending TrueLight products to patients who are looking for relief – from sports injuries, post-surgery conditions, sprains and strains, plantar fasciitis, and various other conditions ailments that often result in pain and inflammation. These devices can also be used to treat skin conditions, accelerate wound healing, and reduce scar tissue. Since TrueLight products offer both targeted and full-body solutions, chiropractors are also recommending that patients invest in their health by consistently using these devices in the comfort of their own homes for deeper, faster healing.

Parker University Receives The John W. Nason Award for Board Leadership

DALLAS, TX (March 10, 2020) — Parker University is the fastest-growing college in the Dallas-Fort Worth region, reports the American City Business Journal. Not only that, but Parker is also the fourth fastest growing college in the state of Texas. At a time when the average five-year growth rate for colleges in Texas was 9 percent for the 68 colleges compared, Parker University grew by 46 percent.

 

To fuel this growth, Parker has expanded upon its initial offering of a Doctor of Chiropractic degree to include new degrees such as neuroscience, functional nutrition, anatomy, strength and human performance, and more. With a mission to help communities achieve a higher level of health, Parker’s growing academic programs have clearly resonated with potential university students. 

 

In February of this year, the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges (AGB), the premier organization representing higher education governing boards nationwide, announced that Parker University Board of Trustees was one of six boards which had been selected to receive the 2019-2020 John W. Nason Award for Board Leadership.  Parker’s board has demonstrated outstanding leadership, which has enabled the school to thrive.

 

When the university experienced severe damage following a tornado that hit Dallas in October of 2019, the Parker University Board of Trustees immediately deployed resources to restore operations. Because of their swift and decisive work, the school successfully devised a plan that met at the crossroads of restoration and growth. The immediate action taken by the trustees demonstrated their commitment to the students. This inspirational show of leadership resulted in minimized downtime, enabling students to resume their course of study without serious interruption.

 

President of Parker University, Dr. William E. Morgan, DC, said this about the board’s response after the tornado, “To some who viewed the destruction of the tornado, it seemed as though our instruction was finished.  But the board of trustees who possess a spirit of courage and perseverance saw the possibilities and a vision for a renewed Parker University.”

 

Additionally, the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges (AGB) stated, “Prior to this, the board had already shown decisive leadership in enabling the transition from a small single program college to a fully comprehensive university. The board overcame internal challenges to become more focused and successfully developed a new strategic plan that inspired a spirit of adventure and exploration at the university.” 

 

With a commitment to providing an outstanding chiropractic education and a mission to create highly qualified and respected professionals in science, business, education, and health-related disciplines, Parker University continues to move forward in the pursuit of higher health.

Palmer Center for Chiropractic Research leads $7 million study to address chronic low-back pain in U.S. veterans

Palmer College of Chiropractic(Davenport, Iowa) – U.S. veterans suffering from chronic low-back pain will be the focus of a $7 million study that will examine the role of chiropractic care in addressing pain without the use of pharmaceuticals. The Palmer Center for Chiropractic Research (PCCR), the largest chiropractic research institution in the nation, will execute the study in collaboration with the Yale Center for Medical Informatics, The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy & Clinical Practice, and the University of Iowa.  The study, called VERDICT, is funded by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health and the Office of Research on Women’s Health at the National Institutes of Health (NIH: UH3AT009761).  VERDICT is part of an $81 million federally funded NIH-DoD-VA Pain Management Collaboratory which is an initiative designed to support large-scale pragmatic clinical trials focused on the use of non-drug pain management approaches among active-duty and veteran populations. VERDICT is one of only 11 studies being conducted through the Collaboratory.  “As opioid dependency continues to rise in the U.S., so does the need for effective, non-pharmacological care options to address chronic pain. Our outstanding multidisciplinary team has been laying the groundwork for this important study for several years and is excited to begin recruiting patients,” said Cynthia Long, Ph.D., dean of research, Palmer College of Chiropractic.  “Pragmatic studies such as VERDICT allow us to answer real-world questions about optimal chiropractic care for our nation’s Veterans and beyond. I look forward to seeing this work influence future health-care policy that impacts both doctors of chiropractic and the patients we serve,” added Christine Goertz, D.C., Ph.D., who is joining Duke University’s Department of Orthopaedic Surgery as professor and the director of system development and coordination for Spine Health on Oct. 1. The four-year study will be carried out within four Veteran Administration clinics across the country: VA Connecticut Healthcare System; Iowa City VA Health Care System; Minneapolis VA Health Care System; and VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System.  The study plans to recruit 766 veteran patients, including a minimum of 20% women, to answer two questions: “Does the number of chiropractic visits have an impact on pain management?”; and “What impact does ongoing care have on pain management?”  Veterans experience higher rates of low-back pain, which negatively impacts quality of life and increases risk of opioid addiction. In 2017, the American College of Physicians announced that non-pharmacological therapies should be the first line of defense for patients with chronic low-back pain.  An estimated 20 percent of U.S. adults suffer from low-back-pain, and 23% of low-back pain patients report high-intensity pain that leads to disability. Inadequately managed chronic pain results in loss of productivity, high medical expenses and costly out-of-pocket patient expenses.  The Palmer Center for Chiropractic Research is a part of Palmer College of Chiropractic, the first and largest college in the chiropractic profession. Palmer College of Chiropractic has campuses in Davenport, Iowa; San Jose, Calif.; and Port Orange, Fla.

Palmer College of Chiropractic receives $1 million gift to transform student union

Palmer College of Chiropractic

Davenport, Iowa – The student union at Palmer College of Chiropractic, a central hub for student activity and interaction, will soon be reimagined thanks to a $1 million gift from Bruce C. Hagen, D.C. and his wife Bethel M. Hagen. The future Hagen Student Union will be a welcoming, modern space where students, faculty, staff and alumni will gather for years to come.

In honor of their generosity, Palmer College is naming the student union the Bruce and Bethel Hagen Student Union. A dedication ceremony will be held on Thursday, Aug. 8 at 11:30 a.m., outside the Campus Center, during Palmer’s Homecoming weekend in Davenport, Iowa. 

Dr. Hagen, a 1953 graduate of Palmer’s main campus, made the decision to become a chiropractor to serve others, as he had done with the United States Air Force during World War II. Originally from Wisconsin, Dr. and Mrs. Hagen made their home in Sioux Falls, S.D. after graduation. There they raised two daughters and four sons while maintaining a successful practice. Three of their sons went on to become Palmer-graduate chiropractors and their grandson is currently attending Palmer’s main campus.   

“We’re grateful to Dr. Hagen and his wife for this incredibly generous gift that will help Palmer continue to deliver a leading educational experience for future chiropractors,” said Dennis Marchiori, D.C., Ph.D., chancellor and CEO, Palmer College of Chiropractic. “This gift will play a vital role in plans to enhance and modernize our campus.” 

“The sign on the east side of B.J. Palmer Hall at the main campus says, ‘Enter to learn how’ and as you exit it says, ‘go forth to serve’ and I’ve never forgotten that,” said Dr. Hagen. “I hope this will encourage others to give to the College, because we ought to do something above and beyond to make it possible for students to have a better education.” 

Palmer is focused on student success and has additional capital improvement projects planned over the next five years that will help ensure Palmer graduates continue to change lives as successful chiropractors all over the world.

More than 900 students are enrolled at Palmer’s main campus, and with planned campus enhancement projects the College estimates that enrollment will increase to 1,200 students in the coming years.
