NYCC Hosts 'An Evening with the Masters'

40 Years in the Profession
Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

New York Chiropractic College President Dr. Kenneth Padgett (Lincoln College of Chiropractic graduate, 1951), and NYCC technique instructors Dr. Howard Gennano (Logan, class of 1951), and Dr. Lloyd Henby (National, class of 1952) participated in a round-table discussion on chiropractic philosophy.

Each doctor has been a chiropractor for 40 years: Dr. Henby discussed when DCs were arrested for practicing medicine without a license; Dr. Gennano stressed the importance of working with national and state associations to advance the profession; and Dr. Padgett noted education's role in providing students with the "necessary components" and then allow the DCs to make the choices in "their individual philosophy and practice style."

Dr. Padgett offered this final thought: "The greatest philosophy lessons you will have will be when you are in practice and you repeatedly witness the healing potential of the chiropractic adjustment."

From Search to Selection: Why AI Visibility Matters for DCs

Patients are no longer just searching; they are asking. Consumers increasingly use AI-powered platforms such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Perplexity to ask complete questions in conversational language. Instead of typing “chiropractor Miami,” patients may ask, “What is the best nonsurgical treatment for sciatica?” or “Who helps pregnant women with low back pain near me? This shift represents one of the biggest changes in healthcare marketing since the rise of Google itself.

A National Turning Point: N.J. Board Rejects Insurer Medical X-Ray Rules for DCs

The New Jersey Board of Chiropractic Examiners has made a precedential decision, concurring with the Association of New Jersey Chiropractors' (ANJC) position paper on chiropractic X-ray guidelines. In plain terms, the board ruled, consistent with the ANJC position, that insurance companies cannot use medical X-ray rules or recommendations, like those written by the American College of Radiology (ACR), to decide whether a chiropractor's X-ray was necessary.

Are You Meeting the Chiropractic Standard of Care?
Are You Meeting the Chiropractic Standard of Care?

The term standard of care is a legal term and a medical concept. There is no single, universally recognized standard of care document or authoritative reference. The medical concept defines what practitioners should do in practice. The legal term used determines whether a practitioner failed to meet that expectation. This article examines the standard of care for the doctor of chiropractic.
