DC Wins National Mystery Novel Award

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

Congratulations go to Herbert R. "Chap" Reaver, D.C. who recently won the prestigious Edgar Allan Poe Award for his mystery novel Mote. The "Edgar Awards" -- the crime writing genre's equivalent of an Oscar -- are voted on by members of the Mystery Writers of America. Winners are given a statuette of Edgar Allan Poe.

"I'm still kind of spinning," Dr. Reaver told a local newspaper in his hometown of Marietta, Georgia, "I didn't realize what a big deal it was. The nicest part is that you are honored by your peers and your fellow writers."

Mote is Dr. Reaver's first novel, and won in the Best Young Adult Mystery category. See the February 15, 1991 issue of "DC."

Confronting the Threat to Chiropractic Education
Confronting the Threat to Chiropractic Education

The chiropractic profession is confronting one of the most significant federal regulatory threats it has faced in decades. A new U.S. Department of Education (ED) accountability framework – commonly referred to as the “Do No Harm” (DNH) regulation – could place many chiropractic programs at risk of losing access to federal financial aid (student loans), potentially reshaping the future of chiropractic education and workforce development across the United States.

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics
From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success. But while pain reduction is meaningful, it is an incomplete and often misleading representation of recovery. This has real consequences for patient adherence, long-term outcomes, and how conservative care is perceived within the broader healthcare system.
