Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

Dr. R. James Gregg from Garden City, Michigan, was named the ICA "Chiropractor of the Year" for 1995 at the ICA's annual meeting Sept. 13 in Davenport, Iowa, held this year in conjunction with the Chiropractic Centennial Celebration.

A graduate of Logan College of Chiropractic, Dr. Gregg was elected ICA president in 1991, and is now serving his last term. For many years a member of the Michigan Chiropractic Board of Examiners, Dr. Gregg is the chief of the dept. of chiropractic at New Center Hospital in Michigan, and is on the hospital's executive committee.

The ICA credits Dr. Gregg with helping the organization to "new heights of professionalism and interprofessional cooperation." Dr. Gregg is regarded as a dynamic speaker of chiropractic philosophy, practice management, and hospital privileges.

In an emotional speech, Dr. Gregg said he was deeply moved by the honor, especially during this historic year for chiropractic. He vowed to continue to serve the association and profession and to seek greater recognition for chiropractic.

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.
