PCCR was founded nearly 30 years ago to promote research that would advance chiropractic education and practice. It has done exactly that. Every day, PCCR researchers are working to advance the chiropractic profession and keep Palmer College at the leading edge by generating new knowledge available to students and Doctors of Chiropractic.


RESEARCH TRANSFORMS PATIENT OUTCOMES AND BUILDS PATHS FOR CHIROPRACTIC At the helm of PCCR is Cynthia Long, Ph.D., PStat, dean of research, who was recently recognized as the most highly-published and collaborative researcher in manual therapy for low-back pain over the past two decades. “No other chiropractic college has anything resembling Palmer Center


for Chiropractic Research,” she notes. “In terms of resources, reputation, publications and our team of brilliant researchers, Palmer stands alone. PCCR is known as a place where curious people are working together and making a real difference in the lives of patients by advancing what we know about chiropractic.” Tough not a chiropractor herself, Dr. Long has worked at PCCR


since it was founded in 1995. At the time, she was just finishing her doctorate in biostatistics and in search of a home to begin her career. “We’re backed by a College and alumni network that believe in the importance of research. Tat support provides the stability required for driven researchers to pursue complex questions, complete long-term projects and push the field forward.”
