Chiropractic (General)

Interesting Quote

DC is only as good as the story material we receive from the dedicated members of the profession. And when anyone is trying to take advantage of the chiropractic profession or individual members of it, you can be certain DC will 'get involved' and try to get the true story told. ... Whether the news is good or bad is really in the eyes, and mind, of the person viewing that news. As far as DC is concerned, anytime a story is going to help chiropractic or any group or individual member of the chiropractic profession - then to us, that's good news. From our perspective, it is [also] good news when we can report bad things that are happening, and if by reporting it, everyone learns how and why chiropractic is getting hurt. If we can help open the eyes of those being misled, then perhaps more will unite and help put an end to the problem.

Corporate Medicine’s Attack on Chiropractic
Corporate Medicine’s Attack on Chiropractic

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.
