"W~W T elcometoourfirstAnnualBuyer'sGuidesince 1996!! ^y^y Back by popular demand, in this issue of The Ameri-▼ ▼ can Chiropractor, we've compiled a complete list of all the biggest and most reputable companies providing products and services for the chiropractic profession. To make this the most useful buyer's guide available, we llrst began by contacting every company in the chiropractic profession for the most up-to-date contact information and descriptions. Then we limited the number of listings per company to their primary products. You'll find very few companies listed under more than one category, as this tends to be confusing. You will notice, however, when a company does offer more products outside of the category in which it is listed, we've included the "other categories" at the end of the listing. And finally, you'll find an entire index of all the companies listed in this directory on page 8, so that you can look up the company of your choice by name and easily find on which page it is listed. To give you some background and help you make the best purchasing decisions, we've included introductions to several categories with "Buying Tips" from specialists in those areas where applicable: The American Chiropractic Association (p. 10), Diagnostic Testing Centers of America (p. 22), Life Systems' Dr. Paul Bindell (p. 18), Lloyd Table's Dr. Lloyd Steffensmeier(p. 48), Breakthrough Coaching's Dr. Mark Sanna (p. 44), and Practice Perfect's Dr. Daniel Dahan (p. 20). Realizing that the success of our profession depends on the success of one another, we want to take this opportunity to recognize the spirit by which a few of the biggest and most involved names in the profession do business: Performance Health (Biofreeze) with Perry Isenberg on p. 30, Scrip's Rob Cooper on p. 38 and, last but never least, Foot Leveler's Kent Greenawalt, on p. 42, in our "Giving Back to Chiropractic" interviews. Your purchasing dollars can go a long way, so do your homework before buying! And we hope these interviews will help you to foster this same charitable spirit in your own practices.
