• Appeal was last hope for chiropractic students MARIETTA The last hope for Life University to retain its chiropractic accreditation came to 10/21/02 By Phillip Giltman Marietta Daily Journal Staff Writer MARIETTA The last hope for Life University to retain its chiropractic accreditation came to an end Sunday afternoon when the institution¹s accrediting agency voted to deny the school¹s bid for reaccreditation. ... ² Life officials said they will immediately reapply for their chiropractic accreditation from the Council on Chiropractic Education, a process that could take as long as two-and-a-half years. ... ³I don¹t know why any student would still be at the school, and it is now obvious they have every right to take legal action. ² A CCE appeal panel met with Life executives Sunday morning and decided not to return its chiropractic accreditation. ... The CCE stripped Life of its accreditation on June 10, but the institution remained accredited while the school appealed the council¹s decision. ... Schmidt, in a message posted on Life¹s Web site, assured students that the school would not close and that the institution was financially capable of keeping the school operating throughout the reaccreditation process. Schmidt said more steps to keep the school operating may be necessary over the coming months, ³but the administration is committed to seeing the reaccreditation process through. ² ³The school will not close, period,² he said. ... ² Life spokesman Will Hurst said the administration has also undertaken necessary cost-containment measures, including elimination of Life¹s intercollegiate athletics program, to ensure the school¹s financial solvency during the crisis. With the CCE¹s monumental decision, chiropractic students are left in limbo and will have to decide whether to transfer or stick it out and see if their school can regain accreditation. Life University remains accredited with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, but after losing its chiropractic accreditation, graduates of the chiropractic program cannot be licensed to practice in most states.

• Thinking About Chiropractic Care?.
• Chiropractic is a health care discipline which emphasizes the inherent recuperative power of the body to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery.   The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.   In addition, Doctors of Chiropractic recognize the value and responsibility of working in cooperation with other health care practitioners when in the best interest of the patient. ... Chiropractic schools are regulated by the U. ... Department of Education, regional accreditation associations, and the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE). ...

• What is Chiropractic.
• History of Chiropractic.
• The word 'Chiropractic' comes from the Greek words cheir meaning 'hand' and praktos meaning 'done' i. ... Done by Hand so named by the inventor or rather developer of Chiropractic: Daniel David Palmer or 'DD' as he is affectionately known amongst chiropractors.
• DD Palmer's major contribution to the health field was therefore the codification of the philosophy, art and science of chiropractic, wrested from a background of systematic study in anatomy and physiology. The art of chiropractic began with the very first spinal adjustment and developed from it.
• DD performed the initial chiropractic adjustment in September 1895 and later in The Chiropractor's Adjustment he wrote the following account of that experience:.
• From that first adjustment, DD Palmer continued to develop chiropractic and in 1897 established the Palmer School of Cure, now known as the Palmer College of Chiropractic, in Davenport, Iowa where it remains to this day.
• Since Palmer College opened, chiropractic has developed rapidly and there are now over 35 schools and colleges around the world and on every continent.
• AECC Chiropractic College – The Cradle of Chiropractic in Europe.
• In spite of chiropractic growing rapidly in Europe, even by the early 60s aspiring chiropractors still, by and large, had to travel to the USA to receive an education. Several attempts had been made to establish European chiropractic colleges in countries such as Switzerland and Denmark but all either failed or were extremely short lived.
• To resolve this problem once and for all, a group of British and other European chiropractors bought a small house in Cavendish Road, Bournemouth, the premier seaside resort on the south coast of England and established The Anglo-European College of Chiropractic or AECC as we have come to be known.

• The news came barely 24 hours after DeSpain resigned, and it brings the embattled Marietta chiropractic school nearly full circle in its fight to stay open, accredited and relevant.   Riekeman, widely known in the chiropractic world, is considered charismatic and a people person, a longtime educator with a reputation for recruiting students and raising money. ... "  Of course, all this would seem to have a familiar ring: Life founder and longtime leader Sid Williams also was charismatic and a people person, having built what during the 1990s became the nation's largest chiropractic school, with 3,500 chiropractic students and an 89-acre campus peppered with statuary that, even today, bears his likeness.   But the business of Life began crumbling in mid-2001, with a critical review questioning school operations by a key academic accrediting agency. The next year, the Council on Chiropractic Education revoked Life's accreditation because of academic and management issues  Under a later agreement, the school retained its chiropractic standing, but enrollment plummeted. Life has not been the same since, limping along with 750 chiropractic students among its 1,250-student body, reduced programming and a recent proposal to sell the campus to a neighboring institution — Southern Polytechnic State University — to erase a $31 million debt. ... DeSpain an opportunity to see that college further along," said Linda Denham, a Life graduate and former president of the Georgia Board of Chiropractic Examiners, who nonetheless called Riekeman "a wonderful, wonderful person. " Third-year chiropractic student Mike Green said students are generally supportive. ... "  With the support of Life's board, DeSpain made several difficult, necessary cutbacks, including axing the school's athletic program.   He saw the school through a probationary review by the academic accrediting agency, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, which last December agreed to give the school another year to correct finance and governance issues. ... "  Ribley added that with Life having regained relative stability, the next step was to "bring in a president who would be in a position to reach out to the chiropractic community at large.

• The chiropractic perspective on health and disease emphasizes two fundamental concepts: 1) the structure and condition of the body influences how the body functions and its ability to heal itself; and 2) the mind-body relationship is instrumental in maintaining health and in the healing processes. Although chiropractic shares much with other health professions, its emphasis and application of philosophy distinguishes it from modern medicine. Chiropractic philosophy gravitates toward a holistic ("total person") approach to healing which combines elements of the mind, body and spirit and maintains that health depends on obedience to natural laws, and that deviation from such laws can result in illness.
