Chiropractic Economics Staff October 29, 2018

This year, in Orlando, Florida, The National by FCA drew 3,000 attendees and more than 270 companies and 432 exhibits to the largest chiropractic event.
Richard Brown, DC, secretary general of the World Federation of Chiropractic, speaking to thousands of attendees during a plenary session, “The Chiropractic Solution to the Global Burden of Spine Concerns.”

This year, in Orlando, Florida, The National by FCA drew some 3,000 attendees and more than 270 companies and 432 exhibits to the world’s largest chiropractic event.

Lou Sportelli, DC, awards the second-ever Lifetime Achievement Award to Scott Haldeman, DC, PhD, MD.

Held on August 16–19 at the Hyatt Regency Orlando, over 80 notable and international speakers represented the industry, covering national and international issues, and examining solutions, techniques, neurology science, sports, laser therapy, women’s health, pediatrics and more.

Drs. Susan Welch, James Chestnut, Scott Walker, Fabrizio Mancini, Matthew Antonucci, Sherry McAllister and Dan Murphy enjoying a moment after presenting “The National Issue of Opioids: Conservative Care to Help Patients Avoid Medical Errors.”

The event celebrated multiple achievements, including the 123rd Birthday of Chiropractic Campaign by the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress, which raised $123,000; a Lifetime Achievement Award presented to Scott Haldeman, DC, PhD, MD; the Convention Honoree Award was given to Paul Lombardi, DC; and ChiroHealthUSA awarded the largest achievement-based scholarship, the Foxworth Family Chiropractic Scholarship, to Brooke Preston, who is attending Northwestern Health Sciences University.

Recapping

Attendees enjoying the Expo and networking between classes.

Several national groups were also present, including the World Federation of Chiropractic, the American Chiropractic Association, The Chiropractic Summit, the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress, the Congress of Chiropractic State Associations, and the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards. Many took the opportunity to use The National as a meeting place to host private meetings.

Drs. Jeffrey Tucker and Gregory Doerr leading a class on “Being the Expert: Functional Assessment, Training and Treatment of Common Upper Extremities, Lower Extremities and Spine Injuries.”

The connections, the content and the inspiration factor of The National can’t be found anywhere else. This is the top reason given by attendees for coming year after year and why this event continues to set new attendance records annually.
