Chiropractic Health Care Section of APHA Accepting Abstracts for 2005 Meeting

Editorial Staff

On the heels of the American Public Health Association's 132nd Annual Meeting and Exposition in Washington, D.C., the APHA Chiropractic Health Care Section (APHA-CHC) is now accepting abstracts for the association's 2005 meeting.

The theme for next year's meeting, to be held Nov. 5-9, 2005, in New Orleans, is "Evidence Based Policy and Practice." All abstracts must be submitted online through the APHA Web site: www.apha.org. The deadline for abstract submission is Feb. 7, 2005.

Active participation in the APHA-CHC allows doctors of chiropractic to interact with colleagues from various health professions and disciplines; raise the positive profile of the chiropractic profession in the public health and health care communities; contribute to sound policy decision-making; and make a difference in shaping the future of the health care delivery system.

Please contact Dr. Maria Hondras, program planner, with questions regarding abstract submission, or for more information on the 2005 APHA meeting. To learn more about the Chiropractic Health Care Section, visit the APHA Web site.

Would You Rather Be a Chiropractic Therapist?

Because they have yet to pass national legislation protecting the chiropractic profession, Japanese DCs are in a similar situation that U.S. DCs faced. We were fortunate enough to be able to pass chiropractic licensure state by state. The DCs in Japan must accomplish this nationally, which has proved to be an extremely difficult task. And in spite of their efforts, Japanese DCs are currently faced with two chiropractic professions.

Whiplash-Associated Disorder: Use of O’Donoghue’s Maneuver

Recently, I taught a 12-hour whiplash class to a group of chiropractors for continuing education. I taught that performing O’Donoghue’s maneuver enabled the providers to differentiate cervical strain from sprain. To my surprise, one of the attendees stated that it is not possible to diagnose a cervical strain and sprain with a whiplashed patient using O’Donoghue’s maneuver.
