Oops! We Goofed

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

In the April 9, 2005 issue, we reported that the Palmer Chiropractic University System's Board of Trustees, at its annual meeting in February 2005, had officially named Drs. Donald Kern and Peter Martin as president of Palmer College of Chiropractic and Palmer College of Chiropractic West, respectively. The presidential appointments were made during the board's Feb. 4-5 meeting in San Diego, Calif.

The article, "Palmer, Palmer West Presidents: Interim No More," featured a profile of each new president. However, we erroneously reversed the photo included with each gentleman's profile - the photo of Dr. Kern accompanied Dr. Martin's biography, and vice-versa.

The staff of Dynamic Chiropractic apologizes for this error and any confusion/inconvenience it may have caused our readership or Drs. Kern and Martin.

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.
