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."

Corporate Medicine’s Attack on Chiropractic

The chiropractic profession is under a sophisticated and relentless assault from corporate medicine, so strategically executed that most don’t even recognize it happening. The campaign is powerful, calculated, and well-funded, demonstrated by its covert tactics and the millions being invested to carry it out. Corporate medicine's endgame wants only two things from chiropractic: all our patients and all our money – and it is getting it.

Chiropractic Management of a Recalled Cervical Disc Implant

Over the past two decades, more than 18 million spinal surgeries have been performed in the United States, and cervical disc replacements represent a fair share of those. Device recalls due to design flaws can place patients in difficult clinical situations, especially those who are symptomatic and reluctant to undergo revision surgery. This case highlights the role of chiropractors in managing complex postsurgical patients, particularly those with recalled spinal implants.

UnitedHealthcare Removing Prior Authorization for Chiropractic
UnitedHealthcare Removing Prior Authorization for Chiropractic

UnitedHealth Group, parent company of UnitedHealthcare, has announced sweeping changes to its prior-authorization (PA) requirements that will eliminate the requirement for chiropractic care and numerous other healthcare services by the end of 2026. Doctors of chiropractic, other providers and patients have long lamented prior authorization requirements because they can delay needed treatment, limit access and even cause some patients not to pursue care.
