The President's Message
It is with honor, gratitude and dedication that I address the member’s of the Connecticut Chiropractic Council.
When I first received my license to practice, I was completely lost. I had just graduated from the National College of Chiropractic and I truly did not know where to begin. I was not part of any “good ol’ boys” network and I had very little business skills.
The first thing I did was call a variety of chiropractors in the state. I asked to visit their offices and learn some “tips”. A few doctors hung up on me, and others said “don’t bother”, as chiropractic success in the state of Connecticut was all but over. However, there were “others” who welcomed me with open arms. The theme from these “other” chiropractors was that chiropractic was the greatest profession in the world, it was their pleasure to help me in whatever way I needed and that failure was not going to be an option. The greatest thing I learned about these “other” doctors was that they were all members of the Connecticut Chiropractic Council.
Here I am10 years later. I have accomplished many things, made it through numerous roadblocks and survived during the most difficult times. I continue to stand tall and thrive in part because of the Connecticut Chiropractic Council.
The job of the CCC is partly educational, partly philosophical and partly political. The most important role of the CCC, however, is to protect its members. This may include help with business acumen, assistance with communication skills or the protection from outside sources trying to invade and/or eliminate our right to practice chiropractic.
The council has come along way over the years, and I am very proud to announce that our membership is continuing to grow! We are working daily on the things that matter. Most recently, the board has met with Attorney General Richard Blumenthal regarding the anti-chiropractic campaign and Worker’s Comp Chairman John Mastropietro regarding validation, discrimination and parity relating to on-the-job injuries. The outcomes of these meetings have been nothing short of fantastic.
As you read this, do you feel that you are stuck and confused? Do you want help, but just don’t know who to turn to? The logical question “What’s in it for me?” has probably popped into your head many times. Do you work hard and long, but still feel that your practice is not strong? Do have a desire to help every child, woman and man but you struggle because you feel dictated by their insurance plan?
Some chiropractors think the CCC is all about the philosophy books, but you would be surprised if you took a further look. The Council is about how great it is to save a life, and how thankful people are when sparred from the knife.
From every cell in my being I would like to say to the Council: “Thank-You”. If it wasn’t for the CCC, my dreams would not have come true.
I urge you, if you haven’t done so already, to step up to the plate and join the Council.
For the Future of Chiropractic,
David N. Steinberg, D.C.
President
