ChiroPoll -- Your Chance to Learn and Be Heard

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

There are many important issues facing the chiropractic profession. How organizations within the profession react is generally based on a consensus.

How can you know the opinions of other DCs on a broad range of topics? And how can you be sure your opinion will be heard?

Every two weeks, we present a ChiroPoll for your consideration. The leaders of the chiropractic professions can read and think about the results of those polls. It gives them a concrete idea of what DCs are thinking.

Don't sit on the sidelines, speak out. It only takes a minute to voice your opinion. Go to Dynamic Chiropractic's website (www.chiroweb.com) and vote. The direct address for the poll is:

Read the question and click on your choice. When you do, you will immediately see the up-to-date results of the voting.

You will also find the archives of all of the survey questions asked on ChiroPoll. Take a good look.

If you have a suggestion for a survey question, e-mail it to us at don@mpamedia.com. Your issues are important to us. Give us the question and see how the profession responds.

Corporate Medicine’s Attack on Chiropractic
Corporate Medicine’s Attack on Chiropractic

The chiropractic profession is under a sophisticated and relentless assault from corporate medicine, so strategically executed that most don’t even recognize it happening.

Corporate medicine's endgame wants only two things from chiropractic: all our patients and all our money – and it is getting it.

Chiropractic Management of a Recalled Cervical Disc Implant
Chiropractic Management of a Recalled Cervical Disc Implant

Over the past two decades, more than 18 million spinal surgeries have been performed in the United States, and cervical disc replacements represent a fair share of those. Device recalls due to design flaws can place patients in difficult clinical situations, especially those who are symptomatic and reluctant to undergo revision surgery. This case highlights the role of chiropractors in managing complex postsurgical patients, particularly those with recalled spinal implants.

UnitedHealthcare Removing Prior Authorization for Chiropractic
UnitedHealthcare Removing Prior Authorization for Chiropractic

UnitedHealth Group, parent company of UnitedHealthcare, has announced sweeping changes to its prior-authorization (PA) requirements that will eliminate the requirement for chiropractic care and numerous other healthcare services by the end of 2026. Doctors of chiropractic, other providers and patients have long lamented prior authorization requirements because they can delay needed treatment, limit access and even cause some patients not to pursue care.
