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.
