Attention: All DCs Insured By CARE

Dynamic Chiropractic 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."

When Radiculopathy Isn’t Radiculopathy: A Clinical Series (Pt. 3)
When Radiculopathy Isn’t Radiculopathy

Before introducing subscapularis syndrome as an upper extremity analog, it is essential to revisit piriformis syndrome as a well-established example of myogenic pseudo-radiculopathy. Piriformis syndrome has long served as a clinical exception to disc-centric models of lower extremity pain and provides an important framework for understanding how deep muscular dysfunction can mimic radiculopathy in the absence of nerve root compression.

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics
From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success. But while pain reduction is meaningful, it is an incomplete and often misleading representation of recovery. This has real consequences for patient adherence, long-term outcomes, and how conservative care is perceived within the broader healthcare system.
