ChiroWeb Adopts Health on the Net Principles

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

In 1996, the Health on the Net Foundation created a code of conduct for health-related websites to address the presentation and reliability of information. Known as HONcode, it is a set of simple, broadly-accepted rules and guidelines which helps users determine reputable health sites from questionable ones.

The HONcode addresses a number of topics, including the authority of the information being provided, data confidentiality and privacy, proper attribution of sources, transparency of financial sponsorship, and the importance of clearly separating advertising from editorial content.

After being submitted for review earlier this year, ChiroWeb.com has been approved by the foundation and now displays the HONcode seal on our web pages, letting visitors know that the site is a reliable and valid source of health information. For more information on the HONcode, visit the Health on the Net Foundation's website at www.hon.ch.

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.
