Editorial Staff

The New York Chiropractic College (NYCC) recently named Michael Howard, D.C., director of its Syracuse Health Center.

Dr. Howard received his doctor of chiropractic degree from Life Chiropractic College (LCC) in 1981, and continued his chiropractic training through postgraduate programs at the National College of Chiropractic (NCC) with advanced training in Radiology. He was among a group of doctors who participated in a nationwide research project regarding the diagnosis and treatment of low back disorders. The study was published in The Journal of Manipulative & Physiological Therapeutics (JMPT).

Dr. Howard is a member of the New York State Chiropractic Association (NYSCA), the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), International Academy on Chiropractic Low Back Pain Study, the North Carolina Chiropractic Association, and is a diplomate of the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners.

"I am looking forward to contributing to the education of our interns, and in being part of the service that the Health Center will offer my community," said Dr. Howard of his new position.

And in spite of their efforts, Japanese DCs are currently faced with two chiropractic professions.

There has long been an attempt by those who are not legitimate doctors of chiropractic to usurp the title of chiropractor from those who have earned their degree from an accredited chiropractic program. This generally happens in countries where the local doctors of chiropractic have yet to pass legislation requiring a degree from an accredited institution. The result is essentially two chiropractic professions. Nowhere is this danger more pronounced than in Japan.
