April 2002

by Craig Hennie, Tri-9 CCC-KC

            Craig Hennie is a trimester nine chiropractic intern at Cleveland College of Kansas City. Upon graduation in April 2002, Craig plans to open private practice in Knoxville, Tennessee. Along with recent CCC-KC alum Dan Kjelgaard DC, Craig has been the point-man in starting the CCC-KC CBP® Club. Best wishes to both Dan and Craig in all their future endeavors. Special thanks to Mr. Aaron Lorenzen of the CCC-KC student services office for all his advice and help in club formation.

The first meeting of the CCC-KC CBP® Club was held March 7, 2002 with approximately 40 students in attendance. The primary goal of the club is to inform and assist any CCC-KC student to expand their knowledge of CBP® methods and research. Faculty advisor, Joe Bowles DC, gave a short introduction to CBP® methods to the newcomers. A business meeting was also held to discuss goals, club constitution, and the election of officers at the next meeting.

            I do feel fortunate that CBP® is currently taught as a non-clinic elective at our college, but would have liked more exposure during the course of my schooling and been able to use it in the clinic as an intern. In the elective class during this past trimester, I was pleased to learn that CBP® solidifies the philosophical foundation of chiropractic with undeniable mechanical engineering and physics concepts applied to subluxation. As a future CCC-KC alumnus, I wholeheartedly encourage the academic leadership of Cleveland College to bring in CBP® methods as core curriculum and utilize it in the student/out patient clinics with the other treatment methods that are taught at the college.

            With Palmer, Life and Logan students also in attendance, thirty-five current CCC-KC students and alumni and I attended the Instrument Adjustment seminar held in Kansas City on March 23rd & 24th. Drs. Don & Deed Harrison are without a doubt engaging during their presentations. Their extreme care for the welfare of the chiropractic patient was readily apparent throughout the weekend. I was greatly enthused that as the CBP® information was shown, it was continually being supported by voluminous amounts of published research. It is a great encouragement to the student chiropractor to see and hear of the ongoing research and development in subluxation analysis and correction techniques by CBP® Non Profit.

            From a clinical standpoint, I feel both excited and at ease to soon enter private practice with my years of knowledge gained while at Cleveland College and the CBP® methods I have recently learned. If you are a student, who has not taken the opportunity to examine CBP® methods, I strongly urge you to do so at your earliest convenience. Go the extra mile by becoming involved in the CBP® Club on your college campus, enrolling in CBP® electives and by attending off campus CBP® seminars. It is now apparent to me that correcting subluxation by restoring normal posture is the name of the game for the future of our chosen profession and definitely a great benefit to humanity.
