You Asked for It ...

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

We've had many requests for reprints of the Journal of Family Practice paper, "Family Physicians, Chiropractors and Back Pain" (Peter Curtis, MD, and Geoffrey Bove, DC), that was discussed on the front page of the March 26, 1993 issue of "DC." This "special article," as the Journal of Family Practice rightly called it, is being seen as a powerful bridge between chiropractors and family physicians. This demand has prompted MPI to offer a reprint of this paper along with the supporting editorial by Daniel Cherkin, PhD, "Family Physicians and Chiropractors: What's Best for the Patient?" Both are available in limited quantities for only $7 (to cover cost of reprinting, handling, mailing). Please see page 5 for order form, or order by phone: 1-800-359-2289.

Corporate Medicine’s Attack on Chiropractic
Corporate Medicine’s Attack on Chiropractic

The chiropractic profession is under a sophisticated and relentless assault from corporate medicine, so strategically executed that most don’t even recognize it happening. The campaign is powerful, calculated, and well-funded, demonstrated by its covert tactics and the millions being invested to carry it out. Corporate medicine's endgame wants only two things from chiropractic: all our patients and all our money – and it is getting it.

Chiropractic Management of a Recalled Cervical Disc Implant
Chiropractic Management of a Recalled Cervical Disc Implant

Over the past two decades, more than 18 million spinal surgeries have been performed in the United States, and cervical disc replacements represent a fair share of those. Device recalls due to design flaws can place patients in difficult clinical situations, especially those who are symptomatic and reluctant to undergo revision surgery. This case highlights the role of chiropractors in managing complex postsurgical patients, particularly those with recalled spinal implants.

UnitedHealthcare Removing Prior Authorization for Chiropractic
UnitedHealthcare Removing Prior Authorization for Chiropractic

UnitedHealth Group, parent company of UnitedHealthcare, has announced sweeping changes to its prior-authorization (PA) requirements that will eliminate the requirement for chiropractic care and numerous other healthcare services by the end of 2026. Doctors of chiropractic, other providers and patients have long lamented prior authorization requirements because they can delay needed treatment, limit access and even cause some patients not to pursue care.
