NJ Chiropractic Society Mines for New Voters

Editorial Staff

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."

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.

Chiropractic at Risk Globally
Chiropractic at Risk Globally

There has long been an attempt by those who are not legitimate doctors of chiropractic to usurp the title of chiropractor from those who have earned their degree from an accredited chiropractic program. This generally happens in countries where the local doctors of chiropractic have yet to pass legislation requiring a degree from an accredited institution. The result is essentially two chiropractic professions. Nowhere is this danger more pronounced than in Japan.
