Back pain? Blame the psoas. Seems as if everybody wants to dive headfirst into their psoas at the first sign of trouble with the lumbopelvic-hip region. Perhaps no other muscle is blamed more for causing problems than the psoas. Yes, it is an important stabilizer of the lumbar spine, but it shouldn't be the only one on which you focus. There is another big player on the scene: the iliacus.
FCER Board Elections
Drs. Charles Herring (president), Ronald Evans, George McClelland and R. Reeve Askew were re-elected to the Foundation for Chiropractic Education and Research (FCER) Board of Trustees at the board's summer meeting, while Charles DuBois, president of Standard Process, Inc., was elected as the newest member of the board.
"Scientific evidence is becoming an essential tool for all chiropractors," said DuBois following his election. "Being given the chance to be involved firsthand in efforts that will provide chiro-practors with evidence-based research and the expertise to use this research in daily practice is very exciting."
