New Guideline on Chiropractic Management of Headache - Your Input Is Requested

DIGITAL EXCLUSIVE

Editor's Note: The following release is published verbatim as submitted by the Clinical Compass.

The Clinical Compass has a new guideline project tentatively titled: Chiropractic Management of Adults with Cervicogenic or Tension-Type Headaches: a Systematic Review and Clinical Practice Guideline.

Part of the process is to get public comments to incorporate into the recommendations.

We have just completed an extensive Delphi panel consensus process with 57 DCs and other health professionals. We achieved an unprecedented level of consensus. However, public input is still an essential part of the process!

For the sake of transparency, we have included:

  • A summary of the methodology
  • The consensus- and evidence-based recommendations. These include the references on which the recommendations are based.

We have created a fillable form to facilitate your input. If you wish to review the above referenced documents and comment, please go to this link: https://clinicalcompass.org/news/

To participate, you need to complete and return your form by April 28th, 2024 to Project Coordinator Cathy Evans. Your responses are anonymous.

Whether you're already in-network or pondering whether to join, here's what you need to know.

Squaring the Geriatric Curve
Squaring the Geriatric Curve

The geriatric curve – the progressive decline in our health, fitness, mental capacity, and overall constitution – graphically appears as a downward sloping line over time. It is a culmination of the effects of sarcopenia, postural deterioration, frailty, and chronic noncommunicable diseases that occur as we age. While aging cannot be reversed, the goal is to reduce the negative slope or “square off” the curve, thus avoiding a steady decline in health. Here are five ways to get your patients started.

How Chiropractors Can Make It the Best of Times
The Best of Times, the Worst of Times

Imagine an environment in which DCs are tightly integrated with their local healthcare system; a trusted resource for PCPs, specialists and self-insured employers; are reimbursed in alignment with value created; use modern technology enabling them to fully engage with their patients; are self-governed; and are able to maintain a fulfilling work-life balance. In the final part of this three-part series, we explore three areas for chiropractors to focus on to leave the current foolishness behind and create “the best of times” for DCs and their patients.
