Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

In the November 6, 1992 issue of "DC," we reported that Dr. William Harris, president and founder of the Foundation for the Advancement of Chiropractic Education (FACE), had donated $100,000 to the National Institute of Chiropractic Research (NICR) for research under way at Arizona State University.

Dr. Harris pledged that if the NICR could raise $100,000 by January
15, 1993, that FACE would give an additional $100,000 to the NICR.

As of November 11, 1992, the NICR has collected $11,000, as
depicted on the barometer graph below.

Contributions may be sent to:

"We still have a long way to go to achieve our goal by the 15th of January. With your help, I know we can do it.

-Dr. Arlan W. Fuhr
President, NICR

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.
