Only Chiropractic Website to Make the List
Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

WorldHot.com (www.worldhot.com/sports/health ) has named Dynamic Chiropractic's ChiroWeb.com website as the 39th in their list of "World Hottest 100 Health Web Sites." Both visitors and WorldHot editors determined which websites made the "Hottest 100." To be nominated, websites must have "good (legal) content and high traffic."

Medical sites dominate the Hottest 100. As the only chiropractic website to make the list, ChiroWeb.com was also the highest-ranked "alternative health" site, of which there were only a few. The fact that ChiroWeb.com made the list (out of an estimated 20,000 health-related websites) underscores the public's desire to learn more about chiropractic and wellness.
ChiroWeb.com ranks above such other popular web presences as Muscle and Fitness (53), and sites for more traditional brick-and-mortar health retailers, such as Drug Emporium (66) and CVS (68).

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

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.
