Here is this months chiropractic news related to several seminars and conferences taking place throughout the United States. Parker Seminars and the California Chiropractic Association annual convention was held in San Diego this past weekend and it was a spectacular event.

There was continuing education, top-notch speakers, loads of positive energy, and that awesome San Diego sunshine.
