TRENTON, New Jersey - The New Jersey Chiropractic Society, in conjunction with local county associations, has initiated a "Get-Out-The-Vote" campaign to register voters for the June primary and November's general election.

"With all 120 legislative seats and the governor up for re-election, our members are determined to register new voters and mobilize voters, explained Steve Clarke,DC, of Nutley, New Jersey, co-chairman of the voter drive. "Most patients do not know who their district representatives are," he observed. "Our goal is to make them aware."

Co-chairman Robert Wise,DC, added: "Through a statewide effort we can make a difference in an election, and have a voice in health care issues that affect our patients' rights to access their providers of choice."

Accompanying the registration forms will be emails to patients about health care legislation, and news about the legislators.

"It's time our profession gets involved," asserted Dr. Wise. "With the help of the internet, we can reach thousands of people."

Court Rules Against No-Fault Insurers - Again
Court Rules Against No-Fault Insurers - Again

New York's highest court of appeals has held that no-fault insurers cannot deny no-fault benefits where they unilaterally determine that a provider has committed misconduct based upon alleged fraudulent conduct. The Court held that this authority belongs solely to state regulators, specifically New York's Board of Regents, which oversees professional licensing and discipline. This follows a similar recent ruling in Florida reported in this publication.

Gaze Stabilization: Clinical Relevance for DCs
Gaze Stabilization: Clinical Relevance for DCs

Keeping our eyes smoothly focused while moving is no simple task because even the simple act of running produces head velocities in excess of 550° per second with head accelerations up to 6,000° per second. Failure to properly stabilize our eyes to compensate for rapid head motion could allow our eyes to over- or undershoot specific targets, which can result in blurred vision, nausea, impaired balance, and a greatly increased risk of falling.
