Deadline for Job Analysis Questionnaire Extended

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

GREELEY, Colorado -- The National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) has extended the deadline for its study of chiropractic practice to November 15th. Chiropractors selected to complete a questionnaire concerning their practices are encouraged to complete the survey as soon as possible and return it to the NBCE.

The current survey is an update of the the NBCE's 1991 Job Analysis of Chiropractic. The new survey will seek to gauge the impact of managed care on chiropractic practice. This survey, like the 1991 compendium of information, will be a major reference document on chiropractic.

If you have received a questionnaire and have any questions concerning the completion of the survey form, contact Martin Kollasch, DC at 1-800-964-6223, ext. 337.

Corporate Medicine’s Attack on Chiropractic

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

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.
