Chair’s Corner
At Duke Orthopaedics, we recognize chiropractic care profoundly impacts health and wellness. Joint manipulation, a key component of chiropractic practice, has ancient roots.
October is National Physical Therapy Month—a time to celebrate, acknowledge, and commend the outstanding work of our dedicated Physical Therapists, Physical Therapy Assistants (PTAs), educators shaping the next generation of experts, and researchers working on future advances.
Please join me in recognizing, celebrating, and thanking our Physician Assistants (PAs) during National PA Week. Our PAs provide the highest quality care for our patients and community. Their contributions are a cornerstone of healthcare, especially in our department.
The annual State of the Department event highlighted a year of new research, national and international accolades, innovative training, expert patient care, community outreach, and new partnerships.
