Have You Hugged Your Researcher Today?

The benefits of chiropractic research are affecting the credibility and image of the chiropractic profession every day. The media coverage, the positive political exposure, and the enhanced relations with third-party payers (with dwindling health care dollars) have all been in part the benefits of chiropractic research.

Unfortunately, many in this profession have been riding for free, enjoying the benefits of chiropractic research without contributing their fair share. The medical profession is undoubtedly encouraged and relieved at the apathy of many DCs.

Almost every chiropractic college is involved in conducting research vital to our future. Most of the colleges are coordinating their research through the Consortium for Chiropractic Research (CCR).

How about you? Have you contributed your fair share to chiropractic research?

All you are being asked to do is donate $25. If you really believe that the benefits of chiropractic care need to be better demonstrated, you could go as high as $100.

Take a minute and write a check now. Send it to:

MPI - Chiropractic Research
P.O. Box 6100
Huntington Beach, CA 92615

All proceeds will be donated to the Consortium for Chiropractic Research. You will be glad you did.

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.
