NPR highlights a piece of chiropractic history

Chiropractic Economics Staff August 3, 2012

August 3, 2012 — National Public Radio’s health blog, Shots, recently featured a post about the posture contests held by chiropractic organizations from the 1920s to the 1960s.

The contests were held as a way for doctors of chiropractic of the time to improve their public image during the profession’s fight for licensure.
