From celebrities to local heroes
People with a passion build the profession

A celebration of the last 50 years in chiropractic would be incomplete without remembering some of the individuals who have helped bring the profession to the stature that it holds in healthcare today.

To identify these individuals, we searched our archives. We asked leaders in chiropractic. And we asked our readers.

We discovered people who were, in some fashion, pioneers. Others were leaders whose persistence and dedication pushed them to achieve their vision and mission. And many others were researchers and educators who were intent on raising the standards of the profession so that no one could deny the value chiropractic offers to mankind.

We also discovered many individuals who have selflessly given back to chiropractic. We’ve included them, too, because they have provided their time and treasure in support of the profession.

As you read the short biographies of the people of chiropractic’s last 50 years, we hope you are struck by a common trait they all share: a passion for the profession. Passion propelled these people forward. And passion keeps the profession growing.
