Creating Lucrative Private Retreats that Heal You and Your Clients
Imagine that you've just wrapped up your most profitable day ever, leaving your treatment room with a check in hand for $1,500. How many clients would you have to see to earn that much in a day? Fifteen at $100 a session? Ten at $150? Six at $250?

WCA does an about-face.
Peter W. Crownfield, Executive Editor
Imagine spending more than $1,400 to take – and more likely than not, fail – Wisconsin's state practical exam, and then finding out the test probably won't even be required in a few months. Such is the frustration being experienced by the overwhelming majority of prospective licensees who took the test in 2012 and at its most recent administration, April 18-19, 2013. The path to exam elimination seemingly has been cleared now that the Wisconsin Chiropractic Association (WCA), which until recently "has always supported a Wisconsin State Licensure Exam" and "never endorsed the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) Part IV requirement" is supporting legislative efforts to eliminate the exam.
