Chiroweb Wins Another Award

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

On April 27, 1997, the Chiroweb website received the WebAppeal Award, its fourth award in less than a year. The award was given by WebAppeal.com, a division of RJ Davenport Internet Services. As we go to press, Chiroweb is one of only a dozen websites (and the first health-related website of any kind) to receive this honor.

The WebAppeal award is based on content and technical information and is given to the site that best displays such attributes in a visually appealing manner. In receiving the award, WebAppeal.com stated that Chiroweb "displays forethought in design and content and is definitely 'a website worth catching.'"

We are continually striving to improve Chiroweb. The recent additions of the Online Calendar and the School Daze section are just the first steps in our goal to make Chiroweb the premier chiropractic website on the Internet. If you have any comments or suggestions, please contact us at (714) 960-6577, or by e-mail at Editorial@DCMedia.com.

When Radiculopathy Isn’t Radiculopathy: A Clinical Series (Pt. 6): Differential Diagnosis
When Radiculopathy Isn’t Radiculopathy

While cervical disc pathology can unquestionably produce radiculopathy, many patients presenting with arm pain, paresthesia or perceived weakness do not exhibit the clinical behavior of true nerve-root compromise. In these cases, failure to differentiate the primary pain generator may lead to unnecessary spinal injections, nerve ablation procedures or surgical consultation despite limited likelihood of benefit.

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.

The Relationship Behind the Referral
The Relationship Behind the Referral

For decades, chiropractors have been told the answer to more professional referrals is simple: educate medical doctors about chiropractic. There is some truth in that advice; but it is also incomplete. The modern challenge is not simply getting another healthcare professional to know that chiropractors exist. It is becoming the kind of clinician (and building the kind of professional relationship) that makes collaboration easy and sustainable.
