ICA, ACA Expand Discussion Forums

Dynamic Chiropractic 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:

 

    ACA: www.chiroweb.com/aca

From Search to Selection: Why AI Visibility Matters for DCs
From Search to Selection: Why AI Visibility Matters for DCs

Patients are no longer just searching; they are asking. Consumers increasingly use AI-powered platforms such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Perplexity to ask complete questions in conversational language. Instead of typing “chiropractor Miami,” patients may ask, “What is the best nonsurgical treatment for sciatica?” or “Who helps pregnant women with low back pain near me? This shift represents one of the biggest changes in healthcare marketing since the rise of Google itself.

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.

Are You Meeting the Chiropractic Standard of Care?
Are You Meeting the Chiropractic Standard of Care?

The term standard of care is a legal term and a medical concept. There is no single, universally recognized standard of care document or authoritative reference. The medical concept defines what practitioners should do in practice. The legal term used determines whether a practitioner failed to meet that expectation. This article examines the standard of care for the doctor of chiropractic.
