In keeping with the fast-rising trend toward alternative care, and chiropractic in particular, the nation's top consumer health publication, Prevention, has named Dr. Carl Cleveland III as a chiropractic editorial consultant.

Dr. Cleveland's appointment is a coup for chiropractic. As one of the profession's most respected doctors and leaders, he will advise Prevention magazine on chiropractic issues.

"It is a privilege to represent the chiropractic profession in this way," said Dr. Cleveland. "Prevention is a positive health and wellness educational source to millions of readers."

Dr. Cleveland is a fourth-generation chiropractor; daughter Ashley became the fifth generation of chiropractors when she graduated from CCCLA in 1995. Dr. Cleveland's father, Dr. Carl S. Cleveland Jr. (1918-1995), dedicated himself to over 50 years of chiropractic service and education. Dr. Cleveland III continues in that tradition. He has served as president of the Council on Chiropractic Education (1994-1996), is president of the Cleveland Chiropractic College of Kansas City and Los Angeles, and is the national spokesman for the Alliance for Chiropractic Progress.

The Alliance for Chiropractic Progress is a public relations partnership of the American Chiropractic Association, the International Chiropractors Association and the Association of Chiropractic Colleges. The Alliance has, as a first step, focused on educating the public about the education and training of chiropractors.

"Chiropractic has a long tradition of promoting the wellness mindset for optimum health," Dr. Cleveland observed. "I'm confident that Prevention readers will benefit from an informed, chiropractic perspective on health and wellness."

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.
