Francisco ("Pancho") Montaño-Pizarro,DC, passed away March 28, 1999. A 1948 Palmer graduate, Dr. Montaño-Pizarro practiced until the 1st day of February 1999.
Dr. Montaño-Pizarro was the only son of Dr. Francisco Montaño-Luna (PSC 1921), the first chiropractor in Mexico. He was a Palmer representative to Mexico and Latin America and was involved in the Palmer International Alumni Association. He was a personal friend to B.J. and Mabel Palmer. He served as president of the AMQ Asociacion Quiropractica de Quiropracticos for a number of years.
He is survived by his wife, Fina, and four children, three of which are chiropractors. The eldest child is Ofonly Josefina, followed by Francisco Montaño III,DC (Palmer '79); Maria Mercedes Montaño de D'acosta,DC (Palmer '80); and Eduardo Montaño,DC (Sherman '84). Fourteen grandchildren, seven boys and seven girls, are also left behind; several of them are considering becoming chiropractors.
Back pain? Blame the psoas. Seems as if everybody wants to dive headfirst into their psoas at the first sign of trouble with the lumbopelvic-hip region. Perhaps no other muscle is blamed more for causing problems than the psoas. Yes, it is an important stabilizer of the lumbar spine, but it shouldn't be the only one on which you focus. There is another big player on the scene: the iliacus.
Two closely related viruses of herpes simplex, HSV-1 and HSV-2, can infect the human body. HSV-1 mostly infects the gums and skin, although it can cause more serious infection in the brain. HSV-2 mostly infects around the genital area. Infection with the virus can be unsightly and painful, especially for HSV-2.
What’s the simplest way to ensure prompt payment for your claims? Ensure that the insurance payer has no reason to deny them. Submitting a “clean claim” from the start can have a more significant impact on your net collections than any other step in your billing workflow. Net collections and accounts receivable (AR) can improve significantly when claims are clean from the start.
