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.

Confronting the Threat to Chiropractic Education

The chiropractic profession is confronting one of the most significant federal regulatory threats it has faced in decades. A new U.S. Department of Education (ED) accountability framework – commonly referred to as the “Do No Harm” (DNH) regulation – could place many chiropractic programs at risk of losing access to federal financial aid (student loans), potentially reshaping the future of chiropractic education and workforce development across the United States.

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics
From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success. But while pain reduction is meaningful, it is an incomplete and often misleading representation of recovery. This has real consequences for patient adherence, long-term outcomes, and how conservative care is perceived within the broader healthcare system.
