Coup for Chiropractic

Dr. Cleveland Named Editorial Consultant for Prevention Magazine

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."

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.

Chiropractic at Risk Globally
Chiropractic at Risk Globally

There has long been an attempt by those who are not legitimate doctors of chiropractic to usurp the title of chiropractor from those who have earned their degree from an accredited chiropractic program. This generally happens in countries where the local doctors of chiropractic have yet to pass legislation requiring a degree from an accredited institution. The result is essentially two chiropractic professions. Nowhere is this danger more pronounced than in Japan.
