In the Nov. 5, 1993 issue of "DC," we reported the 75,000 matching funds challenge offered to Logan College of Chiropractic by William Harris, DC, president of the Foundation for the Advancement of Chiropractic Education (FACE). Logan needed to raise $75,000 in cash (not pledges) by December 15, 1993 to receive the matching funds from FACE.

By the Dec. 15th deadline, Logan had not only met the challenge, but exceeded it by $52,337 and change. The $127,337.91 raised by Logan from alumni and friends of the college, and the $75,000 from FACE will go toward Logan's endowment fund. (For those of you who hate doing math, that's $202,337.91.)

"We are very grateful to the Foundation for offering this challenge," said Logan President Dr. George Goodman, crediting Dr. William Harris with motivating the college and its supporters to exceed all fundraising expectations.

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.
