HEALING HANDS 4 HEROES

This past week-end I attended the Spring Convention of the (ANJC), Association of New Jersey Chiropractors,which as usual had up to date information on key points of interest to help chiropractors in New Jersey be proficient in treating their patients. This convention was different and very rewarding as there was a covenant signed between members of the ANJC and the branches of the United States Military under Army OneSource to launch Healing Hands 4 Heroes, connecting servicemembers, veterans, and their families with health care providers. By signing the covenant the chiropractors have to take specific courses such as; (1) Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, (2) Traumatic Brain Injury, and (3) Issues of Women Returning from Combat.By signing the covenant and taking the courses chiropractors will be voluntarily taking care of servicemembers, veterans and their families coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan.
