Second Howe-Yochum Diagnostic Imaging Fellowship Completed

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

Dr. Jane Wylie, a third-year radiology resident from the Anglo-European Chiropractic College (AECC), completed the second Howe-Yochum Diagnostic Fellowship September 14-30, 1992 in Denver, Colorado.

Dr. Wylie spent numerous hours with Dr. Terry R. Yochum reviewing case material, and also viewed, with a number of the medical radiologists in Denver area hospitals, specialized imaging procedures including nuclear medicine scans, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.

The Howe-Yochum Fellowship is sponsored by the Eastman Kodak Company. Kodak gives financial support to the resident and sends John Cullinan, R.T. to provide lectures and personal tutoring in the technical areas of x-ray quality control and radiation physics.

The fellowship is offered only once a year to third-year radiology residents, and provides an opportunity for the enhancement and training of the future chiropractic radiologists.

When Radiculopathy Isn’t Radiculopathy

While cervical disc pathology can unquestionably produce radiculopathy, many patients presenting with arm pain, paresthesia or perceived weakness do not exhibit the clinical behavior of true nerve-root compromise. In these cases, failure to differentiate the primary pain generator may lead to unnecessary spinal injections, nerve ablation procedures or surgical consultation despite limited likelihood of benefit.

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.

The Relationship Behind the Referral
The Relationship Behind the Referral

For decades, chiropractors have been told the answer to more professional referrals is simple: educate medical doctors about chiropractic. There is some truth in that advice; but it is also incomplete. The modern challenge is not simply getting another healthcare professional to know that chiropractors exist. It is becoming the kind of clinician (and building the kind of professional relationship) that makes collaboration easy and sustainable.
