New COCSA Outreach

Editorial Staff

The Congress of Chiropractic State Associations (COCSA) Board recently voted to adopt the Scoliosis Awareness Program produced by the Scoliosis Care Foundation. COCSA will partner with the foundation in offering scoliosis educational materials to chiropractic state associations nationwide.

“[This is] a great opportunity for the chiropractic profession to partner with a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to the well-being of our children, and, together, to educate parents on the sometimes minor postural changes that could indicate a possible development of scoliosis,” commented Jeffrey Fedorko, DC, COCSA president.

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.
