Dear Mr. Petersen:

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses, it gives me great pleasure to welcome Chiropractic Centennial's participation as a float sponsor in the 106th Tournament of Roses Parade to be held on January 2, 1995, at Pasadena, California.

In inviting Chiropractic Centennial to participate in the Tournament of Roses, we recognize the important contributions the chiropractic profession makes in improving individuals' health and well being.

The Tournament's Float Entries Committee will contact you in the coming weeks to answer any questions. In addition, the Tournament will release your name to Tournament-approved independent floatbuilders, who may subsequently contact you, as well.

In the meantime, please complete the attached Acceptance of Invitation, enclose the float participation fee of one thousand dollars, and return both items to the Tournament before January 31, 1994.

We extend you a warm welcome.

Yours sincerely,

Michael E. Ward
President

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.
