TORONTO, Canada -- In December 1995, Edward Barisa, executive director of the Canadian Chiropractic Association, presented a $30,000 donation check to CMCC President Dr. Jean Moss on behalf of the association's convention committee. This is the largest single donation toward chiropractic research that the college has ever received.

A large part of the funding will go toward a new science laboratory for several of CMCC's top researchers, allowing faculty to share valuable resources and collaborate on research projects.

"The generosity of the convention committee will open up several new possibilities for the advancement of chiropractic research at CMCC," said Dr. Moss. "We are grateful for (their) support in our goal to enhance the profession through high caliber, progressive research."

A leader in chiropractic research, CMCC and its researchers attracted more than $700,000 in new external funding for research activities in 1995. During the centennial convention of the Canadian Chiropractic Assoc., CMCC faculty placed first, second and third in the research platform awards.

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.
