Chiropractic Mission to Cuba

By Michael Dorausch, D.C.

Thank you to Dr. Jeff Ptak and Cookie Fischer for contributing information for this article.

In June, a group of chiropractors will be heading down to Havana, Cuba for a chiropractic mission to that country which will coincide with a special education symposium.

Dr. Jeff Ptak has been invited to speak about the benefits of chiropractic care for special education kids at the Scientific Latin American Conference for Special Education Symposium. This is the 10th Annual Scientific Latin American Conference and it will be held in Havana, Cuba June 4th – 8th (M-F).

The vision for the group is to have about 20 (up to 26) chiropractors participating for this mission and symposium. If you are interested in attending this mission please contact Dr. Jeff Ptak soon. All affairs are being organized by one of his practice members who resides in middle Mexico. Family is encouraged to attend.

Among the doctors confirmed are several members of Chiropractors Restoring Energy Worldwide. () Planet Chiropractic will have our international corespondent (that’s me) there to bring you news regarding the event. Dr. Jeff will need to know what city you will be departing from and returning to. The group will leave on Saturday June 2nd and you are free to return on Saturday June 9th.

Issues regarding passports, housing and travel will be organized by Cookie Fischer.
