Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

As we go to press, over 1,000 doctors of chiropractic have registered to participate on ChiroWeb's DCs Only Forum (our online discussion forum for DCs only). This number represents a more-than-400% increase since ChiroWeb switched to a password-based registration system for its discussion forums in October.

We encourage you to register to join the DCs Only Forum at your earliest convenience. To register, click on the "Discussion Forums" box on ChiroWeb's homepage. That will take you to a list of forums, the first being the DCs Only Forum. If you haven't already registered, you must click on the "Start Here" link. That takes you to a screen where you'll enter your personal ID and password that was provided to you on the front page of the November 15, 1999 issue of DC. If you do not have that issue or have questions about registering for the discussion forums, please contact us at ubbadmin@dcmedia.com.

When Radiculopathy Isn’t Radiculopathy: A Clinical Series (Pt. 6): Differential Diagnosis
When Radiculopathy Isn’t Radiculopathy

While cervical disc pathology can unquestionably produce radiculopathy, many patients presenting with arm pain, paresthesia or perceived weakness do not exhibit the clinical behavior of true nerve-root compromise. In these cases, failure to differentiate the primary pain generator may lead to unnecessary spinal injections, nerve ablation procedures or surgical consultation despite limited likelihood of benefit.

A National Turning Point: N.J. Board Rejects Insurer Medical X-Ray Rules for DCs
A National Turning Point: N.J. Board Rejects Insurer Medical X-Ray Rules for DCs

The New Jersey Board of Chiropractic Examiners has made a precedential decision, concurring with the Association of New Jersey Chiropractors' (ANJC) position paper on chiropractic X-ray guidelines. In plain terms, the board ruled, consistent with the ANJC position, that insurance companies cannot use medical X-ray rules or recommendations, like those written by the American College of Radiology (ACR), to decide whether a chiropractor's X-ray was necessary.

The Relationship Behind the Referral
The Relationship Behind the Referral

For decades, chiropractors have been told the answer to more professional referrals is simple: educate medical doctors about chiropractic. There is some truth in that advice; but it is also incomplete. The modern challenge is not simply getting another healthcare professional to know that chiropractors exist. It is becoming the kind of clinician (and building the kind of professional relationship) that makes collaboration easy and sustainable.
