Attention: All DCs Insured By CARE

Editorial Staff

A message for all policyholders from the Florida Department of Insurance -- Fraud Division:

"An individual named William A. Rose through an association by the name of CARE, Chiropractic Association for Research & Education, is marketing medical malpractice "insurance" to chiropractors in Florida and other states. The insurance was first provided by a company called Professional Indemnity Corporation and now by a company called Insurance Company of Great Britain.

"Neither of these companies are licensed to transact insurance in any of the 50 states.

"If anyone in any state has purchased insurance from CARE and has an unpaid claim or pending claim, please contact Gail Conneil at the Florida Department of Insurance/Fraud Division in Tallahassee at (904) 922-3115, ext. 4037 or by fax to (904) 488-2632."

Because they have yet to pass national legislation protecting the chiropractic profession, Japanese DCs are in a similar situation that U.S. DCs faced. We were fortunate enough to be able to pass chiropractic licensure state by state. The DCs in Japan must accomplish this nationally, which has proved to be an extremely difficult task. And in spite of their efforts, Japanese DCs are currently faced with two chiropractic professions.

Whiplash-Associated Disorder: Use of O’Donoghue’s Maneuver
Whiplash-Associated Disorder: Use of O’Donoghue’s Maneuver

Recently, I taught a 12-hour whiplash class to a group of chiropractors for continuing education. I taught that performing O’Donoghue’s maneuver enabled the providers to differentiate cervical strain from sprain. To my surprise, one of the attendees stated that it is not possible to diagnose a cervical strain and sprain with a whiplashed patient using O’Donoghue’s maneuver.
