ICA, ACA Expand Discussion Forums

Editorial Staff

In an effort to better serve their members and the chiropractic profession at large, the American Chiropractic Association and the International Chiropractors Association have expanded and revised their discussion forums on Chiroweb.com.

Each association has added six new message boards, with subjects ranging from membership information and recent news to more specific topics such as the ICA's policies and positions and the ACA's current lawsuit against the federal government. Users are welcome to leave comments or ask questions on whichever message boards they see fit.

Each association has also revised the web address for their discussion forums to make it easier for users to remember. The address for each association's discussion board is as follows:

Unlock Relief: Nerve Flossing for CTS

Chiropractic care offers a comprehensive and effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, addressing the condition from multiple angles. Recent studies also have unveiled a game-changing adjunct to chiropractic treatments for CTS: nerve flossing.

Dynamic Diagnosis: A Look at Romberg’s Test and Patient Safety

The Romberg test is a neurological procedure used to assess balance and can be used to gauge a patient’s risk of falling. Unfortunately, the test itself is a fall risk. The fall risk is not huge, and falls are not frequent. However, I have encountered a few situations that have influenced how I use and teach the test.

A Chiropractic Therapist Profession in the United States?
A Chiropractic Therapist Profession in the United States?

Sadly, Japan now has over 12,000 chiropractic therapists (Zenkenkai/JCA chiropractors), dramatically outnumbering the fewer than 700 DCs who have graduated from accredited chiropractic educational programs. These chiropractic therapists have a clear economic and political advantage that makes appropriate chiropractic legislation nearly impossible. What if this same thing happenened in the U.S.?
