It’s been over nine years since Planet Chiropractic began organizing news articles appearing on the website into an archived format. A reporter for a national newspaper recently asked me if I knew how many authors have provided articles to Planet Chiropractic and I didn’t know the exact answer. I estimated it was around 100 that have been published. I decided to do a search today through some author archives and I still don’t have an exact number of authors that have been published but I do have a much better idea than I did before the question was asked. What I discovered were submissions from approximately 70 chiropractic authors, a dozen non-chiropractors, and 14 organizations, including three chiropractic colleges and three national chiropractic associations.

Last week I began receiving e-mails from people throughout the world regarding a question I had asked in a Planet Chiropractic newsletter. I wanted to know who were/are the most influential chiropractors in your life? I am putting together a top 100 list of the world’s greatest chiropractors of all time and the feedback I have received has been good. Thought I would share some of the names with you to see just how many of these individuals have influenced your life.
