 Welcome to the National Chiropractic Health Month Web site. Thank you for your interest in this important initiative, designed to educate consumers about the many benefits of chiropractic care and to position doctors of chiropractic as wellness experts.
National Chiropractic Health Month (NCHM) is a nationwide campaign held each October. This year’s activities will focus on how chiropractic care can help prevent and treat obesity. More than 60 percent of adults in the United States are either overweight or obese, according to CDC statistics, and obesity is associated with an increased risk of diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and some types of cancer. Yet losing weight can be a struggle, and many people wonder where to begin. The answer for some may be in the office of a doctor of chiropractic (DC). This year’s NCHM toolkit will enable DCs to reach out to their patients and communities and help to raise awareness about healthy weight management—and how chiropractic can remove the obstacles to fitness.
NCHM Toolkit
A NCHM toolkit is now available that contains a number of resources to assist in the planning and implementation of National Chiropractic Health Month activities at both the local and regional levels. You can find the toolkit, along with statistics and information about obesity at www.acatoday.org/NCHM.
