WEST DES MOINES, Iowa -- A new survey conducted for the National Chiropractic Mutual Insurance Company (NCMIC) by Rowan & Michaels, a New York-based opinion research firm, reveals more doctors of chiropractic read Dynamic Chiropractic than any other single national, regional or specialty publication serving the chiropractic profession.

As part of the NCMIC survey, DCs were asked to name the chiropractic publications they regularly read. Three professional journals were read by one-third to one-half of all DCs. Dynamic Chiropractic was named by the greatest number of DCs (44 percent).

The research also identified several primary concerns about malpractice insurance, including quality, comprehensiveness of coverage, rates, and stability of the insurer.

NCMIC is a mutually-owned insurance company that has been serving the chiropractic profession for nearly 50 years. NCMIC is headquartered in West Des Moines, Iowa, and insures more than 23,000 policyholders nationwide.

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.
