Second Howe-Yochum Diagnostic Imaging Fellowship Completed

Editorial 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.

Recent studies also have unveiled a game-changing adjunct to chiropractic treatments for CTS: nerve flossing.

Dynamic Diagnosis: A Look at Romberg’s Test and Patient Safety

The Romberg test is a neurological procedure used to assess balance and can be used to gauge a patient’s risk of falling. Unfortunately, the test itself is a fall risk. The fall risk is not huge, and falls are not frequent. However, I have encountered a few situations that have influenced how I use and teach the test.

A Chiropractic Therapist Profession in the United States?
A Chiropractic Therapist Profession in the United States?

Sadly, Japan now has over 12,000 chiropractic therapists (Zenkenkai/JCA chiropractors), dramatically outnumbering the fewer than 700 DCs who have graduated from accredited chiropractic educational programs. These chiropractic therapists have a clear economic and political advantage that makes appropriate chiropractic legislation nearly impossible. What if this same thing happenened in the U.S.?
