WCA Produces Position Paaper Supporting SCASA

Actions Speak Louder Than Words
Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

The Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE) is supported by the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) and the International Chiropractors' Association (ICA). The Straight Chiropractic Academic Standards Association (SCASA) is supported by the Federation of Straight Chiropractic Organizations (FSCO) and the World Chiropractic Alliance (WCA). This alignment provides balance within the two areas of the profession.

The WCA developed and distributed a 24 page position paper on "The Acceptance of SCASA and SCASA-School Graduates." This paper was submitted by the WCA to the California Board of Chiropractic Examiners in opposition to the adoption of Section 331.1, the proposed amendments to the chiropractic act (please see "California Board of Chiropractic Examiners Seeks Amendments That Will Mandate Educational Diagnostic Responsibility" in the April 11, 1990 issue of Dynamic Chiropractic). The WCA joined the Association of Straight Chiropractic Colleges (ASCC) and SCASA in giving testimony to the California Board of Chiropractic Examiners.

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.
