This paper aims to analyze the significant disparities in chiropractic care for Black communities in the United States. Considering there is a substantial difference in the quality of care for Black Americans, it is imperative to be aware of the implications this can have on a community and their trust in healthcare systems. Some of these disparities discussed in this analysis consist of historical segregation, overprescribing opioids for chronic lower back pain, and overall lack of access to care. Efforts to improve care are discussed, such as improving doctor-patient race concordance by increasing the number of Black chiropractic students.

Runners have experimented with these patterns to identify the optimal configuration for their running form, anatomy, and sport. This research emphasizes the pivotal role of shoelace techniques in the broader context of ergonomics and injury prevention, highlighting the relationship between how the foot is laced within the shoe and its implications for the overall well-being of the runner.
