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.

When Radiculopathy Isn’t Radiculopathy: A Clinical Series (Pt. 6): Differential Diagnosis
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.
