A Moment of Silence for Wilfred Keyes,DC

Editorial Staff

Dr. Wilfred Keyes, 74, a practicing chiropractor and longtime champion of school desegregation in Colorado, died May 14.

Dr. Keyes was born April 14, 1925 in Kansas City, Missouri. A student at the all-black Booker T. Washington Chiropractic College during the 1940s, Dr. Keyes later moved to Denver, Colorado and practiced there for more than a decade. He also spent several years at the renown Spears Chiropractic Hospital in Denver. The hospital, founded in 1943 by chiropractic pioneer Dr. Leo Spears, was the largest chiropractic hospital in the world. The hospital closed in March 1984 and was demolished in the spring of 1993.

In 1969, Dr. Keyes joined a group of eight families who filed suit to desegregate the Denver public school system, which led to more than 20 years of busing of students for racial integration of the schools.

Dr. Keyes is survived by his wife of more than 50 years, Lylaus, two children, a sister and a granddaughter.

Because they have yet to pass national legislation protecting the chiropractic profession, Japanese DCs are in a similar situation that U.S. DCs faced. We were fortunate enough to be able to pass chiropractic licensure state by state. The DCs in Japan must accomplish this nationally, which has proved to be an extremely difficult task. And in spite of their efforts, Japanese DCs are currently faced with two chiropractic professions.

Whiplash-Associated Disorder: Use of O’Donoghue’s Maneuver

Recently, I taught a 12-hour whiplash class to a group of chiropractors for continuing education. I taught that performing O’Donoghue’s maneuver enabled the providers to differentiate cervical strain from sprain. To my surprise, one of the attendees stated that it is not possible to diagnose a cervical strain and sprain with a whiplashed patient using O’Donoghue’s maneuver.
