Because they have yet to pass national legislation protecting the chiropractic profession, Japanese DCs are in a similar situation that U.S. DCs faced. We were fortunate enough to be able to pass chiropractic licensure state by state. The DCs in Japan must accomplish this nationally, which has proved to be an extremely difficult task. And in spite of their efforts, Japanese DCs are currently faced with two chiropractic professions.
New Guideline on Chiropractic Management of Headache - Your Input Is Requested
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.
