In the Jan. 1, 2001 "News in Brief," which was bannered on the front page, we identified ICA President Dr. Robert J. Hoffman with the photo of Dr. John A. Hofmann. We apologize to both doctors for the misidentification.

Contrary to appearances, we do know the difference between Robert and John, as we've spoken of them numerous times in DC.

  • Dr. Robert Hoffman (2 f's, 1 n) was elected president of the ICA at the association's 73rd annual convention, May 20-23, 1999 in Atlanta, Georgia, which we reported on in the June 14, 1999 issue of DC.

    •  

  • Dr. John Hofmann (1 f, 2 n's) wrote the "View from the Field" column for DC (1994-1995). He is an active member of the ICA and was the ICA's "Chiropractor of the Year," an honor we reported on in the June 4, 1993 issue of DC.

Confronting the Threat to Chiropractic Education
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.
