Dear DC

Bruce Kniegge

I just want to express my heart-felt thanks to you and all the doctors who have responded to the article you published about my shooting in Honduras. The response from the chiropractic community was fantastic. My wife and I cried as we read the letters and cards sent by many well wishers. The financial response was enough to help cover the extra costs of my surgery, flights, and a future prosthesis.

My health is very good, and my full strength is back. I have no pain and have just been fitted with a temporary ceramic eye. I will get a more permanent type of eye in June. I am getting used to the loss of this important item in my body. I praise God for two of them and that I still have my life and the use of my other eye. I still have my hands, so I can provide effective chiropractic care also.

Again, thank you for your help. Your prayers and your support in all ways.

Serving "Him" in Honduras.

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. The campaign is powerful, calculated, and well-funded, demonstrated by its covert tactics and the millions being invested to carry it out. 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.
