Tom Campbell, DC, (R-Roy) is in his third term in the Washington State House of Representatives. He is serving again on the health committee and as vice chairman of three committees: state government, children and family services, and rules.

Rep. Tom Campbell supported the effort to place into law the "any category of provider" provision which requires all licensed providers to be included in all policies in the state.

"The all category of provider law is changing the health insurance industry in our state," he told a recent gathering. "It will help patients to choose what is best for them, not what's best for the insurance industry. This law is among my most satisfying accomplishments in the legislature."

Dr. Campbell is a Life graduate, and has owned and operated a chiropratic clinic is Spanaway since 1983. He represents the 2nd legislative district in Pierce County, Washington.

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics
From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success. But while pain reduction is meaningful, it is an incomplete and often misleading representation of recovery. This has real consequences for patient adherence, long-term outcomes, and how conservative care is perceived within the broader healthcare system.
