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.

Confronting the Threat to Chiropractic Education
Confronting the Threat to Chiropractic Education

The chiropractic profession is confronting one of the most significant federal regulatory threats it has faced in decades. A new U.S. Department of Education (ED) accountability framework – commonly referred to as the “Do No Harm” (DNH) regulation – could place many chiropractic programs at risk of losing access to federal financial aid (student loans), potentially reshaping the future of chiropractic education and workforce development across the United States.

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.
