CHARLI is not only filling that gap but also working to better integrate Chiropractic into the lar...

Dr. Brian McAulay: "For chiropractors, the safety pin is a simple illustration of the nervous system and the perfection of its complex design. In the chiropractic metaphor, a closed safety pin represents the nervous system at ease. But perhaps the open pin is an even better symbol of the mission of our College of Chiropractic.

As former Life U president Dr. Guy Riekeman explained when the pin was donated, its open form represents o...
